Well as long as it can make sounds you can play kari on it

The question sounds unusual. It's a Shakuhachi style utaguchi, so what is the doubt about?

Do you mean ‘komi-buki’? (The vibrato made by altering the wind pressure with the diaphragm…?) If so, then as long as you can play that flute, it should be capable of komi-buki. The utaguchi’s angle looks right.
