Thank you for viewing. This is a shamisen (hosozao) body. My mother used it about 30 years ago, and it has been stored in a closet for a long time since then. The condition appears to be fine to the untrained eye, but there is some damage to the skin, and a small scratch hole of about 2 mm (photo 7) is visible on the front skin. Please check the photos for other details. Please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Overall length: Approximately 97 cm Body: 19 x 20 cm It will be shipped in three parts, each wrapped in cushioning material and packed in a cardboard box.
