	Hocchiku
		Hocchiku are sometimes referred to as jinashi nobekan, meaning "one piece flute made without ji (a paste used in bore construction of shakuhachi)." Hocchiku are not cut in two pieces for crafting or storage, unlike the standard shakuhachi.
		Hocchiku can be fashioned to any length, suitable bamboo permitting, with longer instruments having their frequency range shifted proportionally lower.
		The angle of the utaguchi, or blowing edge, of a hocchiku is closer perpendicular to the bore axis than that of a shakuhachi.

	Hocchiku - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hocchiku (法竹, also hochiku or hotchiku) is a Japanese end-blown flute, crafted from root sections of bamboo.
		Hocchiku are sometimes referred to as jinashi nobekan, meaning "without ji (a paste made of clay and lacquer, used to smooth the bore on shakuhachi), one-piece" (hocchiku are not cut in two pieces for crafting or storage, unlike shakuhachi).
		The angle of the utaguchi, or blowing edge, of a hocchiku is closer to perpendicular to the bore axis than that of a shakuhachi but this is mostly a choice of the maker depending upon the size of the bamboo.

	Alcvin's Hocchiku
		I select only those pieces most suitable for hocchiku and only after they have been sufficiently cured.
		Once in the studio each stalk goes through a two to four week process where it is finely crafted, then another several months where I play the instrument often, to test its limits in various sonic and emotional situations.
		Please be aware that makers who have not studied and played honkyoku in depth for many years will most likely lack something in the creation of a fine hocchiku (or jiari shakuhachi).

	Shaku Hochiku
		But Tom Deaver, in Japan, points out that the two are different and explains this difference.
		Hochiku, or as some write, Hocchiku, flutes are always (except for the exceptions) one piece flutes, without the familiar connecting joint near the center of the length.
		Shakuhachi are almost always made in two pieces with the joint near the center of the length.

	Shakuhachi Forum - World Shakuhachi Discussion / Ji-nashi terminology
		This is the generic term, which in a wide meaning includes both kyotaku and hocchiku as they do not have any ji added to their bores.
		But it is not only hocchiku that has no ji added as hocchiku is a Watazumi term, and the ji-nashi shakuhachi existed for centuries before that.
		Both the terms hocchiku and kyotaku are very personally associated with Watazumi and Nishimura respectively (although the latter used an old word already existing in literature).

	Shakuhachi by Perry Yung: Hocchiku Shakuhachi
		The great Watazumido, who was the teacher of Katsuya Yokoyama, who is the teacher of Kinya Sogawa, who is my teacher in Saitama, Japan made Hocchiku from bamboo laundry poles.
		Hocchiku flutes are perfect for those who understand that a unique space or realm is required to fully appreciate the experience of music and relaxation.
		For those who have the tools to mine these depths, Hocchiku will be a great friend.

		Here is a 1.65 Hocchiku wide bore shakuhachi made from Chinese Madake harvested specially for me in Zhejiang China.
		Experienced players of this type of flute will be able to squeeze some erie sounds out of Kan. Non experienced players will have difficulty maintaining a clean tone and pitch.
		This is true for any shakuhachi but more so for Hocchiku since the bore are not treated and tuned only by removal.

	Shakuhachi by Perry Yung: HOCCHIKU!
		These kinds of shakuhachi were originally made by the earliest Komuso Monks of Japan to play meditative sounds.
		Watazumido wanted to bring the shakuhachi back to it's source since he felt that the Mieji era destroyed much of traditional Japanese music by trying to adapt Western ideas of music to Japan's traditional music.
		When one is open to the principles behind playing hocchiku flutes, their understanding of music will surely change.

		Shuso is the only one who has attained this highest stage, with nobody its successor.
		The hocchiku musical instrument is also hard to find for the Daibosatsu performance, because the instrument must be both delicate and tough enough.
		Even if Shuso wants to play the piece, he finds himself in trouble for finding the suitable intrument.

	Watazumi Doso - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In the 1950s, Watazumi assembled the Dokyoku Honkyoku repertoire of pieces.
		This belief inspired him to create and lead the Watazumi-do (or "Way of Watazumi") school of spiritual discipline.
		Watazumi was also referred to as Watazumi-do Shuso (also spelled Watazumido Shuso or Watazumido-Shuso), "shuso" meaning "head student," a Zen term referring to the student selected by the Zen master to instruct the other students.

	Atsuya Okuda - Shakuhachi Recordings (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		As shown in the sleeve photos, he cuts bamboo in the hills and crafts his own flutes, which remain as natural and unworked as possible - no lacquered bore, no inlaid mouthpiece.
		This type of shakuhachi is called hocchiku, and the sound is fragile and intimate, a world away from the full, projected sound of the concert hall performer.
		In fact Okuda was apparently reluctant to make a recording at all, but we should be glad he has, for he is probably the finest player of his type since the death in 1992 of the Zen monk Watazumi (acclaimed by Steve Lacy as his favourite improviser in Wire 225).

		The hocchiku (hocchiku means 'Bamboo of the Dharma or Way') is a special type of shakuhachi.
		Purists of hocchiku sharply distinguish the instruments they play on from the standard shakuhachi which was a flute whose bore is built up with paste and lacquer.
		Hocchiku are very raw pieces of bamboo with minimal work done to the inside of the bore, and which are very large in diameter.
