Jinashi shakuhachi for sale
(There are no bamboo jinashi shakuhachi available at this time)
I craft and play jinashi shakuhachi which are mostly natural bamboo on the inside. Conversely, contemporary jiari style shakuhachi are mostly plaster or glue on the inside. Jiari quickly became standard but jinashi are enjoying a full-fledged renaissance in recent times. Crafting jinashi shakuhachi is all about working with what nature gives you (conversely, crafting jiari type shakuhachi largely turns the bamboo into a shell or vessel for plaster or glue). Crafting quality jinashi is especially challenging due to the vast variability of bamboo and the inherent restrictions of working with the natural inner bore. For these reasons, acquiring quality madaké bamboo for jinashi is immensely important. However, jinashi can offer an entirely unequaled experience.
