I was amazed to read that Kitaro is a "Living National Treasure". When did this happen?

He has been described by the Encyclopedia Britannica as "the quintessential musician of the new age". Where in the EB?

he has produced music that bridges new age, politics, religion, and the very core of culture -- What (if anything) does this mean? -- Hoary 10:54, 2004 Dec 23 (UTC)

The biography at http://www.gigapolis.com/silkroad/kitaro/english/person.htm [1] is nearly identical to the original version of this article, but I have no idea which came first. ArglebargleIV 03:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
