This is a Tsugaru-jamisen (shamisen) dou-gake (body cover) for a five-bu size instrument. Due to rising raw material costs and a shortage of craftspeople, the market price for genuine Tsugaru-nuri (lacquerware) has also increased. This item has no noticeable scratches and is glossy, in beautiful condition with very little use (almost new). Please note that the condition may be perceived differently by each individual, so please check the images.
