I am very surprised to knowing about this.
I am Japanese. Even Japanese, recently such instrument is unpopular. Because of new fashion and music and words..some of Japanese young people is indifferent to old instruments like Shakuhachi. Though I am young yet, I listen to such old instrument many time. Because Shakuhachi have very long history, that is the music played by noblemen(Kyuutei ongaku=palace music) before more than 1000 years.
Even now, in Koukyo(Japanese the Imperial Palace), there are professional musician for Shakuhachi.
Shakuhachi is very important instrument as much as that in the point of Japanese music history.
Off course, some of Japanese feel calmness when listen to the sound. in such sense, I think that feeling for sound is the same even if where is countries.
Thank you for reading poor writing.
