DESCRIPTION:
The shakuhachi is an ancient Japanese bamboo flute with deep ties to Zen. This piece is from the Echigo District of northern Japan, where it was used as prayer for safe delivery during childbirth. It is also a prayer for charity and virtue in this world.
From my DVD "The Sound of Bamboo"
