Thank you for visiting. - Made by Marusan Hashimoto (Marusan ㊂) Silk thread using the "highest quality cocoon thread" within the "Kotobuki Ito" series. This is "Gin-tsuki Ichino Ito" thread. It has a good sound, and is recommended for "professional performances and stage use"‼︎ Used for "Nagauta shamisen" and other instruments. This is not a used item, but a "new" one, so there is no deterioration due to aging. (The freshness of the thread is vital.) "Shipping included," so I cannot offer a discount... - If you purchase multiple items - If you purchase with other items I can offer a "discount," so I would appreciate it if you could "comment in advance." Please feel free to comment with any opinions or questions you may have. #Shamisen #ShamisenThread #Nagauta
