This is a Tsugaru-nuri (lacquerware) five-bu (a unit of measurement) sized doukake (body protector) with a red base and gold patterns. It is being sold because I bought a replacement. There are some repaired areas where the lacquer has peeled. There are also some light scratches. A small amount of double-sided tape adhesive remains on the back. I will offer it at a reduced price accordingly. I hope you will understand and purchase it. #TsugaruShamisen #Shamisen #ShamisenDoukake Thank you for looking.
