This is a nakazao shamisen. It was used for jiuta. There is a small scratch on the tenjin. It's difficult to see from the front, but it's visible in the photos taken from the back, so please take a look. The skin and tuning pegs are in good condition and ready to use. Thin tape has been applied for sawari adjustment, so it will be shipped as is. A bridge and a bachi (plectrum) are also included.
