Thank you for viewing. This is a Zomeki stick for Awa Odori. It's used to hook onto the obi (sash) and support the body of the shamisen. It's made of bamboo and is in very beautiful condition with no noticeable scratches or stains. There is no peeling of the black cushioning material, so it's still a usable item. There is no deterioration of the string either. 《Size》 Length: 25cm Width: 14cm Depth: 3cm Please understand that there may be slight variations. This item will be carefully packaged and shipped. If you have any questions about the product, please feel free to contact us in the comments section. Thank you. #Shamisen #AwaOdori #JapaneseMusicalInstrument #Zomeki #ZomekiStick
