Product description [We are offering this at a great value price, with accessories included, from our regular in-store price of 400,000 yen]
◆ Specialty-shop quality. A top-tier specification filled with craftsman dedication
Our Superior Kouta Koki shamisen set keeps the price down while insisting on a genuinely premium grade throughout for the wood used and the precision of construction, so you can enjoy a step-up sense of luxury and playability.
・Lavish use of the finest luxury: "Indian Koki wood" We use extremely hard, premium Indian Koki wood. Beyond its beautiful grain and deep shine, the high density of Koki wood produces the "chic, moist depth of tone" and "clear, lingering resonance" distinctive of Kouta. Even a delicate performance plucked with the fingers alone (no bachi) lets every note stand out beautifully.
・Precision Japanese craftsmanship with zero margin for error The single most important factor determining a shamisen's tone and playability is crafted with flawless precision by our skilled artisans. As a result, even beginners can easily find correct hand positions and progress smoothly.
・100% pure luxury: "genuine ebony (hon-kokutan) itomaki" The itomaki are made of genuine ebony, an extremely hard and premium wood. As a result, they resist loosening and hold firmly with a smooth, satisfying click — an outstanding quality feel. There's no stress from itomaki slipping while you play.
・A convenient-to-carry "3-piece folding neck (mitsuori-zao)" This shamisen uses the finely crafted traditional design (three-piece folding neck) that lets you take the neck apart into three sections. While keeping top-tier playability, it packs down compactly, making it easy to bring along on a flight, to lessons, to a recital, or to the stage.
・A "high-quality Karin 5-rin oversize body" that draws out the full resonance of Koki wood The body uses carefully selected, high-quality Karin wood, built to the traditional standard size for Kouta with dignified proportions. Without dampening the beautiful resonance of the top-grade Koki neck, it firmly draws out the crisp, lustrous, finest-quality tone unique to Kouta.
◆ Because a Kouta shamisen is a lifelong instrument, Wagakki Ichiba promises "four assurances"
Whether you're picking up a shamisen for the first time or looking for a genuine instrument you can use for years to come, buying an expensive wagakki instrument online can feel uncertain. We promise the reliable quality and support that only a specialty shop can offer, so you can purchase with complete peace of mind.
・Instrument condition: "fully adjusted right before shipping" by our skilled craftsmen We never ship a pre-made instrument straight off the shelf. Once we receive your order, our skilled craftsmen begin work such as skin-stretching, and right before shipping, each individual instrument undergoes a final check of its tone and the firmness of its itomaki, so it arrives perfectly adjusted and inspected. You can enjoy playing at its very best from the moment it arrives.
・Tone and quality: the resonance of the finest "Indian Koki wood" and our "carefully selected first-grade skin" We use, without compromise, premium Indian Koki wood, considered the pinnacle of shamisen timber. Being extremely dense and heavy, it draws out to the fullest the "light, crisp, deeply lingering resonance" characteristic of a Kouta shamisen. Combined with the finest "first-grade skin" carefully selected by our craftsmen, it guarantees a resonance you can love for years. The tonal difference from an ordinary Karin shamisen is unmistakable.
・After-sales guarantee: an "exceptional 3-month free warranty" and lifelong support only a specialty shop can offer Because this is a delicate wagakki instrument, we place the highest priority on your peace of mind after purchase. In case anything should go wrong, we include a "3-month free warranty against skin tearing." This reflects our confidence in our craftsmanship and materials. What's more, once you've purchased from us, you'll always receive 5% off skin replacement for life.
・Accessories: a "complete set," ready to start the very day it arrives All the basic items needed for playing are included from the start. We have carefully selected a full range of quality accessories so even beginners can start without hesitation, with nothing extra to buy afterward — economical and reassuring.
Note) The set price is configured separately for each accessory, so please check the accessory details below.
At Wagakki Ichiba, we purchase skins in bulk and carefully select only the highest quality among them; craftsmen who have honed their skill over many years of experience then stretch and mount each skin by hand with great care. With a shamisen, no matter how fine the instrument, it will not produce sound if the skin isn't stretched tightly enough — but when the skin is properly stretched, the results can be remarkably resonant. We use Japan's top-level specialized technique to bring out even more of the shamisen's tone.
We proudly offer shamisen crafted by the hands of artisans who have honed their skill over many years of experience.
※You can change to synthetic skin (Shiramine) for an additional 16,000 yen.
◆ Benefits ◆

※If the skin tears within 3 months of your purchase date, we will replace it free of charge.

2) 5% off skin replacement, with no time limit
