This shamisen, which comes with a storage box, is a rod that embodies the craftsmanship of traditional Japanese stringed instruments. The depth of time carved into the wood grain of the neck and the tranquil contrast created by the white leather of the body invites the viewer to the world of Japanese music of yesteryear.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eKoki is a wood from the leguminous family native to India, and has been ranked as the top material for shamisen sticks due to its dense grain, deep reddish-brown color, and rich acoustic properties resulting from its high specific gravity. Red wood that has been used for many years develops a unique luster and shading on its surface, which in itself takes on the value of a work of art. The plectrum is made of tortoiseshell-like material and has a fan-shaped shape with elegantly spreading natural yellow, brown, and black markings. It is said that the tortoiseshell plectrum has been prized by many schools, except Tsugaru-shamisen, for its elasticity and delicate control over the sound. The storage box has a storage space with partitions, showing the care of someone who has taken good care of their tools.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eRecommended uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSimply place the beautiful red wood pole and tortoiseshell-like plectrum in the alcove or display shelf of a Japanese-style room, and it will decorate your space as a work of art that condenses Japan's traditional performing arts culture.
