The shakuhachi has a varied history as a solo meditation instrument, a member of the gagaku orchestra, a crucial part of sankyoku, and a participant in jazz and other Western genres. Listen to the guided listening example of Tori Kadotsuke Hachigaeshi (located on the preceeding content page titled "Shakuhachi and Taiko") and answer the following questions: How does its tone, or timbre, differ from the sound of a Western flute?
What qualities of the shakuhachi sound do you think make it desirable and flexible enough to participate in so many different genres?
What qualities of Japanese aesthetics, as outlined in the chapter, do you hear in the piece?

1. The sound of the shakuhachi is deeper and deeper compared to the sound of the western flute.

2. It has the ability to be divided into three octaves on a five note scale.

3. The Japanese aesthetic quality that can be heard in the piece is the "ma", the "okua-den" lineage and the silence that can be noticed between the beats and the breath.

Explanation:

The shakuhachi is a wind instrument very popular in the east and very similar to the European recorder. It is made of bamboo and has a very simple appearance, with only a mouthpiece and 5 holes, but it has a great versatility which allows it to be used in many different genres. This versatility occurs thanks to its deep and raw sound that can be divided into three octaves and five-note scale.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.
