Koohii stories:

1) [PacifistGod] 8-2-2011(285): A women is so exhausted by her "shakuhachi" that she needs to ice her jaw.

2) [Nukemarine] 27-6-2008(67): Exhaust here is like car exhaust or using up something such as exhausting your supplies. So picture a SHAKU-HACHI flute being played in ICE cold temperatures. You'll see the EXHAUST from your breath as it leaves the SHAKU-HACHI flute.

3) [jwy2k2] 6-5-2007(60): That's not ice…it's my last drops and I'm exhausted! ;).

4) [fuaburisu] 13-11-2006(43): This old Japanese man totally exhausted himself giving a winter-time performance of shakuhachi. That winter was so cold, the shakuhachi was getting clogged with ice as the man was playing. Mnemonic: "exhausted after playing ice-clogged shakuhachi". Meanings: to exhaust; to be exhausted; to use up completely; to use (exhaust) all one's strength (in the performance of one's duties).

5) [matticus] 29-10-2006(27): You can imagine how exhausting it would be to play a shakuhachi filled with ice. It would exhaust your supply of breath (and probably patience).
