It is said that there is a giant Uchinaa Kuruchi (Okinawan drum) on the grounds of an old mansion in Uruma City, Taba. The client, the former chairman of the Nomura-ryu Music Association, visited the site and purchased the log. After natural drying, production was commissioned to Naoki Uchima. It was completed as a Yonashiro type, the common name of the master craftsman Kyampu, who was active from the pre-war period to the mid-Showa era. The pattern is magnificent. Also, unlike Yaeyama Kuroki (black wood), the soft wood of the main island's Kuroki is rarely seen in the market, and this work is also a very valuable piece. Although there are signs of use and small scratches overall, it can be said that it is relatively clean for its age. It was mainly used in the practice hall, and was sometimes taken out and performed at concerts. The slender shape, including the slightly thin Nomaru (drum body), is a design that satisfies many Yonashiro enthusiasts. The drumhead is made of genuine leather, 7.5 to 8 parts stretched. This one-of-a-kind Yonashiro was made with care, watching over the rough wood. We sincerely ask you to consider this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. A used hard case is included. https://ameblo.jp/34doumakiya/
