Valuable Kuroki Sanshin This is a Kuroki sanshin with black lacquer finish. The neck alone weighs 530g, indicating dense Kuroki wood (possibly Shimaguroki or Kamigen Kuroki). The finish on the back of the dove's chest is beautifully carved, showcasing the craftsmanship. The chigaa (skin) has been re-pasted with a double layer for surface reinforcement, but unfortunately, the back side has a single layer that is torn. Replacing the back skin will restore the sanshin to its former glory. This is a used item, so please understand the 3N rule (no returns, no refunds, no exchanges). I am also listing this elsewhere, so I will prioritize the first bidder.
