Tony,
The terms are not used explicitly, but here is the paragraph:
メBy the way, it is said that the pitch of a shakuhachi goes down by half a
note for every sun that is added in length, but in reality this is true only
around the standard 1.8 length. The longer the bamboo, the more length you
need to add on to achieve a full half-note downshift. For example, going by
the メhalf-step for each sunモ principle, a 2.3 length flute should be a
perfect fourth away from a 1.8, but in actuality you need a 2.4 flute to
achieve a perfect 4 from a 1.8. This creates some confusion, since some
people call the メAモ pitch flute a 2.3 while others call it a 2.4.モ
One of these is a メSeiritsukanモ and one is a メSeisunkanモ, but I forget at
the moment which is which!
Best,
Zachary Braverman

I had visited this page earlier and read that article but still do not unde=
