The Bamboo Flute was a Secret Weapon??

Shakuhachi is a bamboo flute in Japan that has a history of over 1,300 years in Japan. It’s a very simple instrument with just 5 holes in bamboo, but what is bumpy stuff on the end? This is actually the root of the bamboo, but why did they always use this part?
One theory says that it might have been because people used the Shakuhachi as a weapon. During the Edo period, there was a Buddhism sect that used the Shakuhachi for their training. They would wear a basket over their face to hide their ego, and travel everywhere as they collected donations from the people. But because they would sometimes go through dangerous places they had a chance of being attacked by bandits. In such a situation, they would use the bumpy end of the Shakuhachi to fight.
Yeah, I guess it would hurt a lot if you were hit by this.

Fun fact: the thin rooty stalk of a bamboo is called rattan, and it's a popular material to use for both shakuhachi and eskrima sticks. They are very durable and tough. So Buddhist monks essentially have a musical fighting stick. One that can actually crack a skull.

@SaltedFishing Год назад

Rattan is a climbing palm, not a part of bamboo. The outer appearance looks superficially similar, as does the grain structure, but they are very different plants.

At that time the government was heavily restricting travel. These monks were one of the few group allowed mostly free travel because Buddhism. Many different groups would don that disguise so they could move from one place to another. There is one story that this practice became common enough that if the military saw you they would ask you to play a few tunes on the flute. If you couldnt they would execute you as a spy.

That makes a lot of sense--bamboo Is really light and durable. I am confused about one thing: the name, "shakuhachi" ...does this mean "eight shaku"? if so, what is a shaku? EDIT: Okay I just did the math, and with 5 holes, that means a shakuhachi musician can play 32 possible notes (2^5) OR... use 3 holes for 8 possible "chords" and 2 holes for 4 possible notes within each chord This is just a guess though

@yaboibingus8626 Год назад

the name is actually a reference to its length! 1 shaku is an archaic measurement equivalent to 30.3 cm, or just barely under 1 foot. the 'hachi' refers to an extra eight-tenths of a shaku in length, thus the standard instrument is about 1.8 shaku long. hope this helps!

The root and base of the bamboo is the thickest part and is treasured both for tone as well as the fact that there is only one base per stalk. Sort of like how the tsuka of katana often display the oyatsubu/crown node portion of the stingray skin. There is only one oyatsubu per ray and only one root section per stalk of bamboo. I think the fact that it can be and was used as a weapon is great, but the root acting as a club is likely a byproduct and not a primary feature.

In the comedic anime "Kyatto Ninden Teyande!", one of the antagonists, the crow ninja Karamaru, often disguised himself as a monk, basket on head and shakuhachi in hand. The disguise doubled as a special type of power armor for him that gave him a villainous mid season power-up. For those curious, "Kyatto Ninden Teyande!" was dubbed for western audiences as "Samurai Pizza Cats", and you can easily find both online. The original japanese in particular should still be on RU-vid as of this comment. Highly recommend giving it a watch.
