- "The shakuhachi (Japanese: 尺八、しゃくはち, pronounced [ˌʃakʊˈhatʃi]) (Chinese: 尺八; pinyin: chǐbā) is a Japanese and ancient Chinese longitudinal, end-blown bamboo-flute.
It was originally introduced from China into Japan in the 7th century and reached its peak in the Edo period. (17th–18th century). The oldest shakuhachi in Japan is currently stored in Shōsō-in, Nara. The shakuhachi introduced into Japan changed its form and scale many times after that, and the present shakuhachi was completed in the Edo period in the 17th century. The shakuhachi is traditionally made of bamboo, but versions now exist in ABS and hardwoods. It was used by the monks of the Fuke sect of Zen Buddhism in the practice of suizen (吹禅, blowing meditation)." - (en.wikipedia.org 26.05.2020)
