Shakuhachi (尺八)


He is our guest from Israel.
Do you know what he is playing?


The answer is shakuhachi (尺八), traditional Japanese bamboo flute.
It is a typical Japanese musical instrument.


He bought this in Kyoto.
His hobby is collecting foreign musical instruments.
This shakuhachi is his first Asian collection.


Actually some Japanese people (including me) have not played the shakuhachi.
Of course it was his first time to play the shakuhachi.
He did not take any lesson about how to play the shakuhachi, but he played it well.


If he practices more, he will become a good shakuhachi player.
I hope he will make shakuhachi famous in his country.
