Shakuhaci edits

Improvements could be made to shakuhachi musical notation page, or perhaps a picture of shakuhachi notation added to the main page

Is that statement relevant

Image for the end blown flute in reference to the shakuhachi is identical to the image of the bling end of the chakuhachi…perhaps a different image could be acquired

Edits and Citation for Etymology of the Instrument

ˌʃakʊˈhatʃi - Source Oxford English Dictionary

Due to the the sturdiness of the breed, professional caliber Shakuhachi are made from the root end of Madake Bamboo(phyllostachys bambusoides) which only grows in special groves in China, Japan, and North America.

The term Shakuhachi refers to the length of the instrument. The flute being one Shaku(11.9inches) and Hachi(eight) Cun(1.19inches) in length. Approximately 21.46 inches(54.5cm).

Edits and citations for Recording section:

The primary genres of shakuhachi music are:


 * honkyoku (traditional, solo)
 * sankyoku (ensemble, with koto and shamisen)
 * shinkyoku (new music composed for shakuhachi and koto, commonly post-Meiji era compositions influenced by western music)

Recordings in each of these categories are available; however, more albums are catalogued in categories outside the traditional realm. As of 2018, shakuhachi players continue releasing records in a variety of traditional and modern styles.

The first shakuhachi recording appeared in the United States in the late 1960s. Gorō Yamaguchi recorded A Bell Ringing in the Empty Sky for Nonesuch Explorer Records on LP, an album which received acclaim from Rolling Stone at the time of its release. One of the pieces featured on Yamaguchi's record was "Sokaku Reibo," also called "Tsuru No Sugomori" (Crane's Nesting). NASA later chose to include this track as part of the Golden Record aboard the Voyager spacecraft.

In the history section, citation 3 is linked to a commercial website which gives no authoritative sources such as books or articles in journals. The year of shakuhachi being brought into Japan was contestable. Wikipedia, it shows the year was the 6th century. In https://www.britannica.com/art/shakuhachi, the year was the 8th century. I found a website https://www.shakuhachi.com/Q-Origins&History.html, the year of shakuhachi came into Japan is later half of the 7th century, and on this website, the author mentioned a book called THE SHAKUHACHI: A MANUAL FOR LEARNING written by  Christopher Blasdel’s, I think the author read this book, so it should be more authoritative than Wiki and Britannica.

In the history section, the first paragraph.

“The Shakuhachi first came to Japan from China during the 7th century.[3] It derived from bamboo-flute. The shakuhachi proper, however, is quite distinct from its Chinese counterpart[4]which is also made of bamboo.”

The original citation 4 says the shakuhachi came to Japan from China in the 6th century that is wrong as I approved, so it should be deleted.

Another logic mistake happens in this paragraph, Shakuhachi originated in China, it should have no Chinese counterpart, so the sentence which including “Chinese counterpart” should be deleted.

The whole paragraph should be:

The Shakuhachi first came to Japan from China during the 7th century.[3] It derived from bamboo-flute. Shakuhachi looks like Xiao, but it is quite distinct from Chinese Xiao.

Citation 6, the link is not found now. I am going to replace this link to citation 6 (it will become citation 5 since I will delete citation 4) https://www.shakuhachi.com/V-WSF08.html
