竹の音を求めて
Seeking the soul-soothing
sound of bamboo
「篠笛」は、阿波踊り、仙臺すずめ踊りなどお囃子でも使われている庶民の笛。
「良い音のなる笛を作りたい」との一心から、竹採りから塗りまで一貫して、手間と時間をかけ当工房で製作しています。
The Shinobue flute is a common flute used in traditional musical accompanyment. It is played in festivals and performances, and particularly in dances like those of the spectacular Awa Odori and Sendai Suzume Odori festivals. We strive to make high-quality flutes that can produce a rich sound. From harvesting the bamboo to applying lacquer, at our workshop we take no shortcuts in our craft.
その極められた音色の良さで、国内の篠笛奏者から、音楽のジャンルを超えた海外のアーティストまで広く愛用されています。
With the exquisite quality of our flutes, we have many loyal customers, from musicians in Japan to artists overseas, and across a wide variety of genres.
ドレミ調の篠笛を作り続けて40余年、東日本大震災以降、被災地の助けになるべく、古典調の篠笛を作りはじめ、今は各地の伝統芸能継承の助力に向き合っております。
We've been making do-re-mi tuned flutes for over 40 years. Since the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake, we also started making traditionally tuned flutes, in order to contribute to the aid effort and the preservation of traditional Japanese crafts and music.
手間と時間をかけて、じっくりと作り上げるので、完成まで1~3年お待ちいただきますが、あらかじめご了解ください。
祭りや初めての方用に、一般的な合成樹脂塗料塗りの笛も作っています。工房に来られれば存分に試し吹きができますが、同時間に一組様だけ対応としてますので、必ず事前にご予約の上お越しください。メールのやり取りだけで手にされた笛も喜んで頂いていますので、ご安心ください。お気軽にお問い合わせ、お待ちしております。
As we put great effort and care in our craft, please be aware that the completion of a flute may take around 1 to 3 years. For festivals or beginners, we also make general synthetic resin-coated flutes. Customers are more than welcome to try out flutes at our workshop, however we only see customers one at a time, so please be sure to make a booking. We're confident that we can make a flute that you will love, even through email-only consultation. Please feel free to contact us at any time.
