Thank you for viewing. This is a Japanese Nagauta shamisen made in Japan (three-piece neck). It has dog skin stretched over the soundbox, producing the beautiful tone unique to the shamisen. Neck: Karin (rosewood) Soundbox: Karin (rosewood), round construction Tuners: Hon-kokutan (genuine ebony) Skin: Dog skin on both sides I bought a new wooden bachi (plectrum) because my teacher recommended it. I started learning Nagauta shamisen before the COVID-19 pandemic, but lessons were interrupted a year later because my teacher was elderly. After that, I quit because I got busy, so I would be happy if someone could use it. Please understand that it has been stored at home.
