korishi
Korishi is a traditional wind instrument and the musicians who play it in the fictional Arali coastal culture. The instrument is a cylindrical wooden tube with a single reed and a carved mouthpiece, often decorated with shell inlays. Typical korishi measure about 60 to 90 cm and are tuned to a bright, piercing timbre that carries in coastal winds. Craftsmanship emphasizes driftwood selection and water-resistant finishes; regional variations exist in ornamentation and fingering systems.
Culturally, korishi performances accompany harvest rites, seafaring ceremonies, and storytelling. Players form guild-like lineages and teach
In modern contexts, korishi remains part of cultural festivals and educational programs within the Arali communities
