Limited Sale [Traditional Craftsman Morifumi Nakamine Creation] Single Piece Genuine Leather Construction | Purchased by Owner for ¥400,000 | Exquisite Sound Quality

This is a Makabi-style sanshin crafted by master craftsman Seibun Nagamine, a certified Okinawan craftsperson and a national traditional craftsman.

This is a genuine piece that I received directly from Master Nagamine 12 years ago when I was studying under him, and he presented it to me as a lifelong treasure for 400,000 yen. I am now listing it for sale to someone who will cherish it.
Due to the pandemic, my lessons with the master have ceased, and I no longer play the instrument myself, so I would like to pass it on to someone who will play it with care.

There is a slight scratch, as shown in the last photo.

It has been handled with care and is in very clean condition overall, with some minor scratches.

Regarding the engraving on the core, to maintain the exquisite craftsmanship and prevent damage from amateur disassembly (such as breaking the tuning pegs), I have deliberately not disassembled it. As I purchased it directly from the master, I can guarantee its authenticity.
