Shakuhachi - Japanese bamboo growing in the Finnish forest
Documentary by Jaakko Arola

Shakuhachi, a Japanese end-blown bamboo flute, has gained a lot of interest outside it’s original content by it’s mesmerizing sound. Shakuhachi has a history of being used as a meditative tool by Buddhist monks instead of being strictly a musical instrument in performances. Three shakuhachi players with different connections to the Finnish nature share their thoughts on playing shakuhachi and how their surrounding nature affects their practice.
