This is a shamisen bachi (plectrum) that has been at my home for a long time. I am a complete beginner, so I only know that the material is wood. From a beginner's perspective, there are no noticeable scratches, but please take a close look at the images and consider purchasing. There is a "25" on the bottom, so perhaps it is 25 monme (a unit of weight). How about it for practice? Thank you for looking.
