Thank you for viewing. This is the drum part (chiga) of a sanshin. It was attached to a Yonashiro type made by Mr. Taira and used for folk songs. There is no mistake in the genuine skin. There are no tears on the front or back, but it has become slightly white with age. The scales on the front are normal. It has been a year since it was made. Both the front and back are firmly stretched. We do not accept any claims after purchase. Please check the photos and those who are satisfied, thank you.
