Tsukitani Tsuneko
Scholar
|
Dr. Tsuneko Tsukitani, professor at Osaka University of the Arts, was Japan's leading expert on the shakuhachi, its history and music, and a beloved colleague who wholeheartedly supported the efforts of her peers, students and friends. Many non-Japanese shakuhachi enthusiasts will remember her for her energetic participation in the 1998 Boulder Shakuhachi Festival, where she gave academic lectures on the shakuhachi along with her colleague, Zenpo Shimura. Although she was not able to attend the Sydney Festival in 2008 because of her illness, she worked behind the scenes to insure that the festival received necessary funding from the Japanese government. We will all miss this vivacious woman and her warmth, wisdom and friendship.
