Shakuhachi (flute) story

Post by toine »

Hi,

I want to make a gift to a flute lover (he collects all kind of flutes from around the world) and I have in mind to give him the Usagi issues where a shakuhachi in use/shown. Usagi plays, not so well apparently :wink:, in several issues but I also vaguely remember a story in which a shakuhachiplayer/assassin is one the main character. I am looking for this issue number & title...

Does somebody have a better memory than me around here ?

arigato gozaimashita,
toine

Please excuse my poor english skill :oops:

Don't forget "The Demon Flute", where a spectre flute player frees a village of a hungry ghost; it's in Book 13 "Grey Shadows" and in Vol.3 # 24 if my memory serves me right.
