Hichiriki

The hichiriki is a Japanese wind instrument with a double reed, traditionally made from mountain bamboo wrapped in cherry bark. This example, however, is made of plastic and the inside of the cylindrical body is painted dark brown. Due to its compact, clear and strong sound, it is considered a main melodic instrument of the gagaku orchestra, a courtly musical style that was declared an intangible cultural heritage of humanity in 2009.
