I’ve always wondered about these. I’ve played western woodwind instruments for over 20 years and never knew the mechanics of sound production on this, whether it was more like a recorder or flute.

I fell in love with this instrument since I heard Fukuda Teruhisa sensei play Shika no Tone. Its sound can be so dark/haunting and lonely! As a classical musician, you don't hear that kind of sound anywhere in the western orchestra (although an alto flute or viola can get a tad close). Thank you for the interview.
As a big fan of woodwind instruments (slowly getting back playing saxophone 8 years after school graduation), it's so great learning about shakuhachi and I might give it a try if I had a chance.
Very happy to see this very informative Shakuhachi video. Looking forward to hearing the next video too. Since I purchased one years ago from a local artisan, I hope your friend gives us tips on how to make "good sound".
Yeah I’ve always wanted to learn shakuhachi. As an avid anime fan, and an American flute player I just never could find out how to buy or learn one. I think I might just bite the bullet a d try to learn shakuhachi. I just remember how much freakin air these types of flutes take.
I love listening to Kuzu-San it was very interesting. I play western flute as well as wooden European flute, and piano, and a Native American flute and handdrum. The price doesnot surprise me, a good handmade instrument is expensive, I am happy that they are now making "introduction" Shakuhachi so to widen its interest and scope. My son saved up long to get a koto, and is now learning to play it. Personally I want to learn to play all three instruments Kuzu-San mentioned. I would be interested in more programme about traditional Japanese instruments and also the different styles of traditional music and its history.
The first time I saw a Shakuhachi in action (although I had definitely heard it before but could not tell it apart from another woodwind instrument) was when I watched a video clip from Wagakki Band, where modern instruments are combined with Koto, Shakuhachi, Shamisen and Taiko (Wagakki = traditional Japanese Instruments), while including Shigin (Japanese poem reciting) elements. It's great to hear the background and history of Shakuhachi from a professional. Thank you for this interview and I would love if you could cover other traditional instruments in the future!
Most of traditional Japanese Musical Instruments are expensive. >< It's great to see there are alternatives like the 3d printed, PVC, and metal ones. I have been wanting to get/learn these along with the Shamisen (which there are also other alternatives for now for beginners). I am just not sure if it is really just okay to learn them (on your own) besides the common practice of being an apprentice to masters. Thank you again Shogo-san for this feature. :D
As a shakuhachi student of 3 years now myself, i can tell you that, while you can technically learn on your own with material online, a teacher is going to help you along SO much, that you might as well consider it, even if it's online lessons and not in-person.
The 100,000 thing is only true if you care about getting a bamboo instrument. But you don't need to start on a bamboo instrument. For a student that wants to learn to play, there are much more affordable options, like maple flutes, the Hoshi Arashi and the Shakuhachi Yuu. And all these are perfectly acceptable for studying under a teacher ;)
Hi watching from the Philippines I wish you can talk about the muramasa blades that is believed to be cursed blades on your next contents Thank you very much for the info that you shared to us
Well, since gagaku was mentioned, how about having gagaku in this section of the channel? Kyoto does have some gagaku ensembles at the universities and shrines.
It's really unfortunate that he didn't demonstrate his playing here, other than that small outro. I think they wanted to focus on answering questions since we can find his playing on RUclips. Definitely check out the links in the description, since the music is gorgeous!
This is awesome! I really needed this because I impulsively bought a shakuhachi because it sounded really cool but when it arrived, it finally hit me that I have never played an instrument you have to blow out of before 🥲💀

Great interview; phenomenal guest. Hearing a fluent Japanese conversation, expressed with verve and wit, was a joy.

What an interesting guy! Thank you, Shogo! I look forward to seeing the second part soon!
i love this flute! one of my favorite bands "Quest for blood" are playing shakuhachi by Yukihiro Isso!
Thank you both for such a excellent interview and historical information.
their laughing remimds me of the dr evil crew from Austin Powers doing their evil group laugh that slowly fades to an awkward silence

Awesome 😎 I learned something new today because I never knew the Shakuhachi existed and it's awesome

Next, need to do videos about the koto and shamisen.
Yay! I play shakuhachi!

Wow thanks shogo san, how about shamisen 😁😁
Fun!
I wanna see this so baddd
Is that the ( flute) what jin play at ghost of tsushima?
Yes, that’s right!
Trying to skip through to the part where he is playing and there is none.
It's really unfortunate that he didn't demonstrate his playing here, other than that small outro. I think they wanted to focus on answering questions since we can find his playing on RUclips. Definitely check out the links in the description, since the music is gorgeous!
