Shakuhachi, made of bamboo, with outer cutout and five holes (four in front and one in the back), is a side-ribbed, vibrating, air-voiced wind instrument, named after the tube length of one foot eight inches, whose tone is cool and expansive, and also expresses an ethereal, serene mood.

In Japan, Nara Todaiji Shokurain,

One of them, a bamboo carved shakuhachi, is 43.7 centimeters long, with an opening at the upper end of the tube and five holes in the front of the tube and one hole in the back. Each hole has a circular pattern on the edge. It is very beautifully made, with floral motifs and female figures carved throughout the body. The first hole is engraved with two women, one bent down and picking flowers, one standing behind it as open sleeves. Under the back hole, there is a woman standing and holding a fan in her hand, and another woman sitting and playing a pipa. The rest of the bottle is decorated with birds and flowers. There are also jade shakuhachi, tooth shakuhachi, carved stone shakuhachi and birch scroll shakuhachi.

Shakuhachi was introduced to Japan more than 1,300 years ago and was integrated into Japan itself. It is recorded that the shakuhachi was introduced from China as a musical instrument for playing the elegant music of the Tang Dynasty from the end of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the beginning of the Tang Dynasty (581-618 A.D.), which corresponds to the Nara Period in Japan. From the 20th year of the reign of Emperor Kaihuang of the Sui Dynasty (600 AD), when Japan's Prince Seitoku was born, Japan repeatedly sent "envoys" and "envoys" to China, and the shakuhachi, as well as many other Chinese musical instruments, such as the dragon-flute, were brought to Japan from the east. To this day, there are a number of shakuhachi made in the Tang Dynasty in the Shosoin Temple in Japan. The earliest shakuhachi imported into Japan was only used for the court's elegant music, six holes, called "ancient shakuhachi", and often used as the plaything of the dignitaries, so it is also called "elegant music shakuhachi". According to legend, Japan's Prince Shotoku especially loved shakuhachi, he was using the Chinese shakuhachi, now also treasured in Nara's Horyuji.
