Josen Shakuhachi: Jinashi & Jimori

Jinashi & Jimori: Bamboo Bore Shakuhachi

When crafting jinashi and jimori (地無し・地盛り) “bamboo bore” shakuhachi, the most important aspect for Josen is preserving the natural character of each piece while honing it into a proficient instrument (see shakuhachi types). Importantly, Josen leaves them unlacquered so that players can experience the full character of the bamboo. These vast voices of nature, infinite in their variety, offer everyone the opportunity to find a unique instrument that truly speaks to them.
