This Ji-ari was my personal shakuhachi from 2022 to 2024 I played a lot and traveled with it in many places (see video above).
I made it in a thick and dense piece of Madake harvested in 2019 in Kyushu.
This shakuhachi is easy blowing with a bright and powerful tone.
It is time now for this beloved instrument to find its new home !
