Price Drop!! Japanese Instrument Hichiriki - Main Pipe - Gagaku (Bamboo with Birch Bark Binding)

Hichiriki for Gagaku (Japanese Court Music)

This is a bamboo transverse flute called a hichiriki, used in Gagaku.
It was actually used by my brother, who was a Shinto priest over 20 years ago.
The mouthpiece has been disinfected with alcohol. (It seems it is actually used with a reed called a rosetsu. This is not included in this listing.)
The cloth bag and the flute itself are in relatively good condition.
I am listing it hoping it will reach someone who can make good use of it.

●Condition
It was actually used by my brother, who was a Shinto priest over 20 years ago. It has been disinfected and stored for several decades, but I will disinfect it again with alcohol before shipping. The bag and the flute itself are clean overall with no noticeable scratches or dirt. However, please understand that this is a used item.
