1.8 Jiari February, 2005 The shakuhachi shown below, despite a couple of repaired cracks and a slight, flowing curve, is the very first to christen my hanko, "Inga Shakuhachi", and was given as a gift to a close friend. 1.8 jiari, Kyushu Madake, silver lined utaguchi inlay, inlayed rattan bindings, cocobolo kanjiri ring. A warm, full tone, with a very pleasing kan.
