Hitoyogiri Class Preperation #1: basic fingering

This video is intended for those taking the upcoming course on Classical Hitoyogiri that I'm holding together with my friend Shawn Head. If you've signed up for the course, please check your inbox for a copy of the course material for this video.
If you are interested but haven't signed up for the course yet, you can do so via the link below. The class starts on February 4th, and will be held in two sessions, one in the morning and then another session covering the same material in the in the evening (Japan time) so that you can participate from any time zone. In case you aren't able to attend live, each session will be recorded and made available online.
You can sign up for the class here:

If you want to know more about the hitoyogiri, you can check out my other videos, or visit my website at www.hon-on.com.
For the class, I've also developed a low-cost hitoyogiri based on the Muromachi and Edo-era tuning and feel. It's coated in urushi and is decorated with "On-Myo," "The cry of the monkey," in pure gold - a reference to the origin story of the hitoyogiri, which identifies the ethereal cry of the Golden Monkey as the origin of the flute's sound.
You can find the hitoyogiri for sale on Shawn's site here:

Hi, I'm Giovanni from Venice, Italy. I am now watching your videos on sakurashi. I bought two of them, a sakurage 1.8 and a saguayoshi two point three. I wanted to advise since I don't know English very well, could you activate the subtitles so that I can select the automatic translation into Italian? . I thank you. Let me know.

Hi Giovanni, good to hear from you. My family comes from Mattie, in the Piemonte. Can you tell me which videos you'd like to see? It will take some time to do all of them, but I'll try to get the subtitles activated.
