When making jinashi shakuhachi I seek to retain the character of the bamboo while striving for balance throughout. Each piece of bamboo is a wonderful puzzle for me to solve and every finished shakuhachi is irreplaceable. All of my bamboo shakuhachi for sale are made from Japanese Madake which I harvested. Most are made from rare goma madake which is madake bamboo that has died and cured out in nature giving it beautiful spalting colorations. All of the shakuhachi for sale were made to play traditional honkyoku music which I also teach. I have extensive knowledge across many styles of both old Edo period honkyoku as well as 20th century honkyoku styles such as Taizan ryu, Watazumi, and Jin Nyodo. I am happy to go into detail on any shakuhachi to help you make an informed decision.
