About this craft

Shinobue is a bamboo flute fundamental to Japanese festival (matsuri) and celebratory music. Tenshu crafts these using shinodake (female bamboo) specific to Japan, employing traditional hand-tuning methods. The 5-hon tuning adapts the instrument for both classical ohayashi and Western scale compatibility.

Store in a dry location away from direct sunlight and fluctuating humidity to preserve bamboo. Wipe gently with soft cloth after use. Do not immerse in water. Natural bamboo may develop subtle color shifts over time with light exposure and aging.
