New fingering chart
For my students I have put together a new Kinko fingering chart that I believe solves some of the problems I've encountered with other charts. Even those who study in other schools may find it helpful. Please see http://nyokai.com/fingerchart.pdf

Nyokai, nice work! The included (text) notes will no doubt be of immense help to more than a few.

Re: New fingering chart
Thanks. This looks to be the best fingering chart I have seen to date anywhere.
I was not conscious whether I was riding on the wind or the wind was riding on me.

Thanks to the excellent suggestions of Graham Ranft, I have changed some of the formatting on the chart and made several other structural changes. Thanks Graham! Get the latest copy: http://nyokai.com/fingerchart.pdf

Re: New fingering chart
Yes Nyokai, my thanks to you as well. The chart is a great help to me. I'd been spending a lot of time lately trying to figure out correct pitch for various notes. The chart really clarifies a lot of the areas of confusion that I had.

Glad it helped, Airin. And here's one of the great things about shakuhachi: if you ever feel nostalgic for those areas of confusion, there are always more of them just around the corner!
Ahhh, .... I can just imagine that! :-)
