Japanese version of the hun
[edit]The Japanese version of the hun is called tsuchibue and it's written 土笛. It does not literally translate to "Japanese clay flute" but to "clay flute" since 土 corresponds to clay and 笛 corresponds to flute.

- Remember though that 土 means "earth" or "soil", rather than "clay". In the current Xun article it is translated as 'lit. "earthen flute" ', which I think is much more accurate than the current "Japanese clay flute".
I am not discussing what 土 means. I am simply saying that no kanji indicates the word "Japanese".
