The description mentions "Nagauta, Hirahoso 200,000." It seems a bit thick for Nagauta, but thinner than Jiuta. It might have been used for Hauta or folk songs. There is a crack behind the upper nut on the neck. Because of this, pressing it creates a gap, and the third tuning peg cannot be used properly. The skin is also torn, so if you intend to use it, maintenance is required at a specialized Japanese musical instrument store. Alternatively, you could use it as a material for rosewood. If it's just the rosewood, you don't need to send the body, so the shipping cost will be a little cheaper. Please consult with us.
