This is a koto. It's a standard koto with sudare carving and parallel soundboard. The back and the "iso" (the part of the koto that touches the floor) are clean and without scratches. It's made of genuine paulownia wood. It produces a beautiful, classic koto sound. In terms of decoration, the leaves don't have edging, so it might look a little less impressive. Aside from the appearance, the sound quality is excellent and suitable for performances. How about it for practice at home for the koto club? I will include koto bridges, either a cat-foot stand or a koto stand, or a koto bridge box. For those who are not yet very familiar with the instrument, I will include a copy of a beginner's manual. For those who are unsure about tuning, I will include a tuner.
