The shakuhachi (尺八 (しゃくはち), shakuhachi? IPA: [ɕakɯhatɕi]) is a Japanese end-blown flute. Its name means "1.8 feet", referring to its size. It is traditionally made of bamboo, but versions now exist in wood and plastic. It was used by the monks of the Fuke school of Zen Buddhism in the practice of
suizen (blowing meditation).
