Rare Edo period shakuhachi

http://cgi.ebay.com/RARE-EDO-Antique-Ja … 20af825394

Zen indeed. A bamboo koan. In the spirit of "truth in advertising" the seller notes: "may need some little maintenance to be played..."

Re: Rare Edo period shakuhachi

I messaged the seller weeks ago telling him it was most likely a flower vase (and cracked up to boot), definately not a shakuhachi.

Ignored of course.

Re: Rare Edo period shakuhachi

It's a shakuhachi if you WANT it to be a shakuhachi.

A Ji-Whizz shakuhachi, perhaps? Or a dog turd.

I thought I saw that a week or two ago with a price of $300; It's tripled in price. I wonder if now that it has been identified as a petrified high gloss dog turd the seller has decided it is more valuable?

Re: Rare Edo period shakuhachi

That looks like a hash pipe and a dog turd had a dalliance in a smoked bamboo forest.

It isn't as if the dealer has never seen real shakuhachi that "may need some little maintenance to be played."
