About This Item

Vintage bamboo shakuhachi (Japanese flute) crafted by master artisan Takejiro Sugai from the Taisho-Showa period, made from genuine bamboo in two-piece joinery construction. This long 64cm (2-shaku 1-sun) Kinko-ryu style instrument in B-flat features a silver three-line joint connector and water buffalo horn mouthpiece, known for its deep and rich resonant tone. The flute shows age-appropriate patina and minor surface wear; shallow hairline cracks exist near the lower end, and the joint has slight looseness—sold as-is without professional pitch verification.
