Japanese Bamboo Flutes
The most well-known Japanese bamboo flute overseas is without doubt the shakuhachi and many Western musicians journey to Japan to begin the long journey to master the instrument's seductive sounds.
Many other kinds of bamboo flutes are also produced in Japan and have been for centuries.
The art of bamboo flute-making first came to Japan from China in about the 6th century.
