To Jacopo: hey man don't you want he gives your also he's own tools, bamboo, scret holes placement ...etc! making shakuhachi is real pation and knowledge and it's honor to take time for us to show several step of the fabrication. Thank's to the maker and those who film and put it here! Im also maker..so i know time and patience it take to learn and built good shakuhachis!

Genki Thank very much, for your helpful and Highclass Work with traditional Tools. Its a jJoy watching it ,even without understanding a word.

I understood every word of the original Japanese, because I was born in Japan, and speak the language. I also studied shakuhachi under a master shakuhachi craftsman in Osaka Japan in my youth, while I supported myself by teaching English.

Wow that’s excellent! I am learning Nihongo and trying to do it through videos like this since they offer the bonus of coming to understand the culture more and more. Im also a carpenter and trying to make one of these for personal use. Would you happen to know the math ratio for hole placement? I’ve cut and fired my own shakuhachi many times over but for some reason the placement is always a little off when I follow the tenths rule. I know I can dial the notes in by starting small and widening, but it’s the hole placement that’s stumping me. Any help would be appreciated!

Hard job

thank you!!! very useful lesson!

Thanks ! ! (I also like the birds chirping in the background . .

Very interesting! Congratulation.

wow thank you so much for sharing this

Actually, the Shakuhachi craftsman's narration is quite simple. Put simply, he is simply explaining what he is doing, step by step, which you can pretty much figure out by the visual presentation of his activities. A few things he says are not obvious in the visual presentation, but not much.

Curious as to how he chose which stalk to use.

@panfluteman2000

...And that's one of the things that are not so obvious. You saw him shaking the stalk, right? Well, as he was shaking it, he was saying that he could feel that the stalk was still too young. You see, within a few short months, a bamboo stalk reaches its full adult size and stature on the outside, but on the inside, its wood is still rather young, or soft and tender, and the walls, which continue to grow inwards on the inside, have not attained their full adult thickness. And the maker could tell that the stalk was still young and soft / thin walled by shaking it to and fro. I remember in my days studying shakuhachi under a shakuhachi maker in Japan, he told me a story of how he saw this great looking stalk of bamboo for a shakuhachi three years previously that was still too young. He shook it and could tell that it was still too young, but that it would be just right in about three years. So, he remembered the spot, and put a mark on the stalk of bamboo, so he could identify it easily. He was really worried that someone might come along in the meantime and cut that stalk down, but when he came back for it three years later, miraculously, no one had cut it, and the stalk was his for the taking.

and for the knots in it he uses the sticks for measuring. That's why he's holding it next to it

@panfluteman2000

The shakuhachi maker takes these measuring sticks out with him when he goes to cut bamboo. From the top node, which will become the utaguchi (song mouth) or blowing end of the instrument, these measuring sticks have the distances down to the various finger holes already marked. These measuring sticks enable him to see where the finger holes on the finished instrument will fall relative to the nodes. Traditionally, the finger holes have to fall in a certain proportional configuration or form relative to the nodes. In all traditional Japanese art forms, this notion of outer form or kakko is very important, and must be maintained.

Tom B The density of each piece of bamboo is quite different, you can find the measurement on the internet but with bamboo you need some experience or some crazy sound analyze machine
