Thank you for viewing! Please read the entire description. Extremely rare, no longer available, ○Kichi special Gyojin Chankiki, sand-cast. Dimensions are 4 sun 5 bu (approximately 13.5cm in maximum diameter), purchased from Okayada. Although the box inscription states 5 sun, it is actually 4 sun 5 bu, with a maximum diameter of 13.5cm. This time, I will include red and white hanging cords and a drawstring bag to hold the chankiki. Also, be careful not to be mistaken, as some shops are selling the Fusesho-go (Buddhist instrument) with three legs, claiming it to be a chankiki (musical instrument). Perhaps there is no distinction between the two in some regions. At least, I have never seen a Fusesho-go at a Bon Odori in Tokyo. Now that I've looked around at shops selling chankiki, I found that several shops were selling cast chankiki! I didn't know that. I lacked knowledge. This item was found in the warehouse of the shop where I bought it, and the shop owner didn't even know about it. It was discovered during a warehouse cleanup and shown to me, as I am an acquaintance. I purchased it because it is a rare chankiki. The box is a new box from the same ○Kichi, as the original was tattered! It is not new; I used it a few times about 30 years ago and then put it away in its box. I polished it because it had become blackened. Since it is a cast product, the sound of each one is slightly different. There are no marks from deer antler strikes! Could this be considered a vintage item with historical value, rather than an old used item? There is a protrusion on the mirror surface that occurred during sand compaction. 5-5-6 has been applied to prevent blackening and rust. Since it is not a new item from the present era, it has not been coated with anti-rust protection. Therefore, it will quickly develop brown rust from sweat, etc., but it will gradually blacken if left alone. When it blackens overall, it will have a natural look. Thank you for your understanding. If left too long, verdigris will appear. That is the same with current chankiki. Therefore, please do not purchase if you are a nervous person! Why not play the Nenre Chankiki with Bon Giri Koika and Dancing Hero? #Chankiki #Surigane #Atarigane #Yosuke #Yosuke #BonOdori #SummerFestival
