This is a bamboo flute (shinobue) of the Shishida school, crafted by the second-generation flute maker Chuichi Ito of Ito Takekanki Seisakusho, who inherited the techniques of the late Edo period flute maker, Mr. Shishida! Made in the late Showa era, this shinobue is over 40 years old. The bamboo is well-dried, and it's a fine instrument with excellent sound quality and tone! Thank you for viewing. We are currently offering a special price: selling for 11,380 yen, down from 13,800 yen. Please consider purchasing.
