Shawn Renzoh Head is at the forefront of Japanese traditional music and its expansion into the western world. At age 18, he became the youngest non-Japanese Shakuhachi Shihan (master) in history. In 2019, Shawn received the distinct honor of becoming an OSS 大将軍 Tai Shogun, given to him for his work in traditional Japanese music by Ronald Watt 9th Dan Shotokan Karate and Order of the Rising Sun (Japan’s top civilian award). Head earned a bachelor’s degree in composition from the Cleveland Institute of Music, and is currently based in Houston, Texas.
This project has been made possible by the Lingyin Temple via the Center for Buddhist Studies in the College of Humanities and donors to the American Culture and Ideas Initiative at the Fred Fox School of Music. “
