● Sanshin ● Yushigi [Single layer of genuine leather] ● 1946-1963 (Mid-Showa period) ● Usage date or period: Used around 1955. ● Item from the Showa era ● The skin has been replaced with new genuine leather. Also, the skin and base fabric used at the time were genuine leather using parachute fabric used by the American military, etc., as the base. Unfortunately, the original item was torn, so it has been replaced with new genuine leather. ● Karakui ● This is a work by Mr. Harumasa Mekaru. ※ The yellow Amami Oshima (strings) in the photo is not included in the current listing. Thank you for your understanding. ※ ● In my personal opinion, there are no major noticeable damages, and considering it's an antique item from that era, I think it's relatively clean. ※ I have specified it as (no noticeable scratches or stains) based on my personal opinion. ※ Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about minor details. ● The neck has no unnecessary bends or twists and is a very beautiful neck with good Kagi (curvature), and it is a sturdy neck made of the high-quality core of the Yushigi from that time. ※ For those who don't mind the weight ※ Although there are individual differences, this is a Sanshin that I can confidently offer overall. ● The name is written with a marker on the inside of the body and on the neck (the bottom part of the neck). ■ For those who understand and agree to this ■ There are no problems that affect the outside (visible range). Thank you. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment. Thank you.
