Shamisen to accompany folk ballads (長唄nagauta) in a transport case, three-part, can be taken apart, with plectrums in a brocade bag - the individual parts are inserted into each other and protected by wooden sleeves. The box lute consists of a box-shaped wooden body, rounded at the sides, which is covered at the top and bottom with a glued-on skin membrane. There is a brocade cover on one side of the body. The wooden string carrier runs through the body and can be dismantled into three parts for transport; the three nylon strings are attached to three lateral pegs at the upper end of the stick and knotted to a cord at the lower end, which is looped around the end of the skewer. The bridge is made of plastic (?). Accessories: Carrying case, pick with bag, four wooden protective covers for packing the skewer.
