On our page you can find out all you always wanted to know about the kyotaku or long shakuhachi (sometimes also called Japanese zen flute).

And you can order a traditionally built kyotaku made from real Madake as the phylostachus bambusoides - which has been used since centuries - is called in Japan. Made by Tilopa.

Here you can also get information about the master of kyotaku, Koku Nishimura, his student Tilopa, and order their extraordinary CD's on which you can listen to different lengths and types of this Japanese bamboo flute. True meditation music.
