This is a valuable Tsugaru-jamisen used by the first generation Takahashi Chikuzan. The finest "tochi" (figure) appears throughout the entire neck. Each part has the "Chikuzan" brand mark engraved. Neck: Standard size / 1-sun width, gold tenon, two-stage groove Body: 5-bu size / Ayasugi body Tuners: Red wood / Ebony joint, Su-roku (plain wood) 8.5-bu The skin is not torn, and it is in a condition ready to play immediately. I would like to sell it to someone who understands its rarity and history.
