This is a "Serpent Shamisen" said to bring good luck. I believe it was given to me as a souvenir. It has three strings, but I couldn't play it. It has been stored at home for many years and has some age-related dirt and scratches. The plastic case has cracks and traces of cellophane tape. Please consider this before purchasing. Please check the photos for the size and condition. #Ornament_Nonoko
