::''Not to be confused with Tenpuku 天福, an [[Japanese Eras|era name]] for the period from [[1233]]-[[1234]].''
*''Japanese'': 天吹 ''(tenpuku)''
The ''tenpuku'' is a type of end-blown flute from the [[Kagoshima prefecture|Kagoshima]] region. It is said to have been particularly well-liked by generals in the armies of the [[Shimazu clan]].
The flute is typically around 30 cm long and has five holes. The mouthpiece is of a form particular to the ''tenpuku'', and distinct from that of other Japanese flutes.
A movement to conserve or revive the instrument and its music has gained strength in recent decades, beginning in the late Shôwa era (1970s or '80s).
