A shakuhachi (Japanese: 尺八, pronounced [ɕakɯhat͡ɕi]) is a Japanese longitudinal, end-blown flute that is made of bamboo. The bamboo end-blown flute now known as the shakuhachi was developed in Japan in the 16th century and is called the fuke shakuhachi (普化尺八). A bamboo flute known as the kodai shakuhachi (古代尺八, ancient shakuhachi) or gagaku shakuhachi (雅楽尺八) was derived from the Chinese xiao in the Nara period and died out in the 10th century. After a long blank period, the hitoyogiri shakuhachi (一節切尺八) appeared in the 15th century, and then in the 16th century, the fuke shakuhachi was developed in Japan. The fuke shakuhachi flourished in the 18th century during the Edo period, and eventually the hitoyogiri shakuhachi also died out. The fuke shakuhachi developed in Japan is longer and thicker than the kodai shakuhachi and has one finger hole less. It is longer and thicker than hitoyogiri shakuhachi and is superior in volume, range, scale and tone quality. Today, since the shakuhachi generally refers only to fuke shakuhachi, the theory that the shakuhachi is an instrument unique to Japan is widely accepted.

 

Prompt: A serene scene of a Japanese woman in a flowing, floral kimono playing a Shakuhachi bamboo flute beneath vibrant autumn leaves. Her long hair sways gently, Refined landscape with a touch of realism, this abstract composition on a canvas primed with acrylic primer utilizes fluid art techniques in multi-layered acrylic pours, incorporating gold, brown, pearl white, copper, bronze, and amber hues. The colors, pigments, and sand are layered carefully, each poured individually, using both Acrylic Pouring Dip and sandwich acrylic pours techniques to yield a background rich in depth and texture, with contrasting transitions and unique fluid patterns. At the bottom, a sandy, dirty-white layer adds an earthy texture, from which an abstract tree with a branched crown stretches upward, adorned with golden, copper, and amber autumn leaves rendered in the fluid art style. Delicate, expressive strokes scatter leaves across the canvas, achieving a surreal autumnal scene with vibrant, flowing movement against a stunning, abstract backdrop.
