This is a wooden shakuhachi flute with a decorative design and a black cap. The first photo is close up. Length: 52cm My blind father played the shakuhachi for 20 years. There is something in Braille attached to it. It seems to say "Butterfly" (蝴蝶) printed on it. I can't confirm where he bought it. It was purchased 15 to 20 years ago. The top and bottom are securely attached. They are not loose. He had about 20 shakuhachi flutes, but I sold them to a general recycle shop when I wasn't using Mercari yet, so they were bought for very cheap. I regret it very much now. Now, I have three shakuhachi flutes, so I will sell them again! Thank you very much. m(__)m - Material: Wood - Color: Brown - Type: Shakuhachi flute body - Design: Decorative carvings - Tip: With a black cap Thank you for viewing.
