The 2025 World Shakuhachi Festival was a success. For four days in April, hundreds of shakuhachi artists and aficionados traveled from around the world to Aggieland to celebrate the shakuhachi — a traditional end-blown bamboo flute — and its hundreds of years of impact on music and culture in Japan and beyond.
