Shakuhachi -- The Japanese flute called the shakuhachi has been part of
Japanese culture for thousands of years. Now, the 5-holed bamboo instrument
is finding its way into all sorts of music beyond its meditative origins.
Michael Velasco talks to players in America who are playing the shakuhachi
and are being challenged by this simple flute. July 17,1998.
