Recommended 15 songs with Japanese shakuhachi as an instrument! (First 20 can be increased to 50)

As a bamboo instrument itself, the shakuhachi has a quiet and tranquil style, and is generally used in some of the clear and melodious Zen music. The instrument was introduced to Japan by the Tang dynasty during the Sui and Tang dynasties. The shakuhachi, which is now popular in Japan, was introduced to Japan in the Southern Song Dynasty (Kamakura period). However, the xiao and flute gradually replaced the shakuhachi in China around the Song Dynasty, so it was not until around 2000 that China gradually rediscovered and re-emphasized this ancient instrument. Today the world's top shakuhachi makers and musicians are basically Japanese or European, with very few Chinese masters.
