Japan Tour 2016 und 2018

In summer 2016 I spent three weeks in Japan, playing a few shows, visiting friends and taking an three-day intensive course in traditional Japanese music at Kyoto City University of Arts. The first steps on Shakuhachi flute 尺八 were hard but rewarding! Here are some infos about the tour and some pictures of the highlights!

Update: In spring 2018 I spent two months in Kyoto. I stayed in the quiet north of the city, close to Daitoku-ji, and enjoyed the time I had at my hand to compose and a few good reads.
