Stone flutes are instruments deeply connected to ancient Japanese history. They are gifts from the super-ancient past, captivating with their mystical charm. Stone flutes are also called "Iwa-bue" and have been revered as sacred "monozane" (objects used to attract deities) in several schools of Shinto. Since they have been excavated from Jomon period ruins, stone flutes are also known as the "sound of Jomon." You can obtain a high-pitched, clear tone by blowing the stone flute in the same way as playing a shakuhachi flute or by blowing into an empty bottle. Please experiment with the thickness, strength, and direction of your breath to play the great sound of the stone flute. The sound of the stone flute has been traditionally believed to ward off evil and bring good fortune. Instrument... Ocarina
