● This is a dougake (body cover) for Nagauta shamisen. It belonged to my grandmother. ● It has a noble design. The material is kyogi (thin wood shavings). Kyogi is a traditional Japanese packaging material made by thinly shaving wood and drying it. It excels in humidity control, breathability, and antibacterial properties, suppressing decay and preserving the freshness of food, so it has been used to package various ingredients. ● What is a dougake? It is an important accessory that firmly protects the body of the shamisen and prevents friction and scratches during performance. It is an essential item that prevents slipping and shifting during performance, allowing you to concentrate on playing more comfortably. ● There are stains of deterioration on the back due to long-term storage. I will lower the price for sale. ● I will ship it compactly. I plan to use Rakuraku Mercari delivery, so there may not be a box. ● I also have other Japanese clothing accessories (obi, hadajuban, tabi, etc.) for sale. Please take a look if you like. #naonao Japanese clothing accessories #ShowaRetro #JapaneseClothingAccessories #Kyogi #Dougake #PureSilk #Shamisen #JapaneseClothing
