Hitoyogiri
Not on view
The shakuhachi, the Japanese bamboo end-blown flute descends from the hitoyogiri.
Both instruments have four finger holes and a thumb hole, are held vertically, and have a blowing edge formed by an outward cut at the rim. The hitoyogiri was popular during the Edo period (1603-1868) but ceased to be used by the 19th century as the shakuhachi developed into its final form.
