Talk:Hun (instrument)

Japanese version of the hun
The Japanese version of the hun is called tsuchibue and it's written 土笛. It does not literally translate to "Japanese clay flute" but to "clay flute" since 土 corresponds to clay and 笛 corresponds to flute.

 * Remember though that 土 means "earth" or "soil", rather than "clay". In the current Xun article it is translated as 'lit. "earthen flute" ', which I think is much more accurate than the current "Japanese clay flute".

I am not discussing what 土 means. I am simply saying that no kanji indicates the word "Japanese".
