Welcome to Josen Shakuhachi
I’m Josen, shakuhachi Daishihan — ‘senior instructor’ — bamboo flute maker, and Zen practitioner based in France. My life’s work is devoted to the living resonance of bamboo.
Pathways to Sound & Study
- Instruments for Sale — Crafted as individual companions, available for players who seek depth, authenticity, and an enduring voice. Each comes with thoughtful care; free shipping, accessories, and lifetime support.
- Lessons — In addition to live lessons over video chat I also make free instructional videos on YouTube. For shakuhachi, I pass-on multiple Honkyoku traditions, including Fudaiji Seien Ryu, Myoan Taizan Ryu, Kinpu Ryu, and others.
Join the Journey
Whether you’re here to explore a flute, deepen your practice, or simply wander down the bamboo path, I invite you to walk it with me. Discover the sound, simplicity, and subtle power that emerge when bamboo meets breath.
