Used Book: The Complete Guide to Shakuhachi Making

These books provide a detailed explanation of the techniques for crafting the shakuhachi—a bamboo end-blown flute—and serves as an essential resource for those interested in traditional Japanese musical instruments and their construction. 

 

Across both volumes, the book comprehensively covers everything from the fundamentals of shakuhachi making to advanced techniques. Although published during the Showa period, its detailed technical explanations and descriptions of traditional manufacturing methods remain valuable today, making it an invaluable resource for passing down the art of shakuhachi making to future generations.
