Hichiriki Reed "Kiwami"

Thank you for viewing. I am a shakuhachi player with 50 years of experience in Gagaku and shakuhachi, and I create over 1,000 high-quality reeds annually.

These reeds are made from carefully selected, high-quality reeds from Udono. After being air-dried for approximately 1.5 to 2 years, they are then smoked over a traditional Japanese hearth for over 10 years. This process results in a top-grade reed that combines both durability and superior sound quality. I believe you will understand the quality of my reeds if you refer to past reviews.

These reeds are finished with great care, allowing for a comfortable playing experience. While they are generally made to fit any shakuhachi, including plastic ones, I can accommodate requests for thicker or thinner reeds.

They are finished to be playable immediately, even for beginners and women. However, please be aware that they do not produce sound with light breaths. To achieve a good resonance, please remember to blow with full breath. While the price per reed may be slightly higher, I offer returns and exchanges if you are not satisfied. I am confident that you will be pleased with these reeds, so please give them a try.
