SHAMIKO

A New Standard for the Shamisen

Easy to manage and convenient to carry.
User-friendly design that allows you to play from day one, even for beginners.
SHAMIKO is the new standard for the shamisen.

Features

Mini shamisen developed based on the traditional Japanese instrument "shamisen"

The ”shamisen,” a traditional Japanese instrument enjoyed by a wide range of people since ancient times.
SHAMIKO has the DNA of the shamisen
It was developed and inherited into this small body.

Adjusted to a size that is easy to play while maintaining the traditional structure.
Please enjoy it as a genuine mini shamisen.

The most standard model among the many SHAMIKO models

Since starting the SHAMIKO business,
Our company has developed various types of SHAMIKO.
This product is the most standard SHAMIKO in this series.
The body is a good luck charm and also a scale.
We are using the widely used "masu" (a square measuring cup).
This is a product we can recommend to everyone.

Meticulously crafted design

The tenjin, the uppermost part of the shamisen, is an intricately crafted component that incorporates the tuning pegs.
A soundhole with the ambiance of a circular window in a Japanese-style room.
When developing SHAMIKO, the most rigorous attention was paid to
The beauty of this form.

Merits

Safe for beginners

Is the shamisen difficult?
"I don't think I could ever do something like that..."
We often hear such comments.

We want even beginners to enjoy it.

Because of these feelings, SHAMIKO...
For example, prepare stickers that indicate where to hold the thread or
Instead of a guitar pick, I prepared a plectrum, and
We've incorporated features that make it enjoyable for beginners right away.

Even the tsugaru shamisen phrases I've always longed for,
If you confirm the place to press one by one
Anyone can learn to play.

Excellent portability

Because SHAMIKO is smaller than a regular shamisen
It is highly portable.
Even if you’ve given up because you weren’t confident you had the strength to carry a shamisen,
If it's SHAMIKO, you can carry it around with ease.
A soft case is also available as an option.

Easy to manage

Shamisen strings will break if you keep playing them, and
If the leather tears, it will cost tens of thousands of yen to replace it.

SHAMIKO is designed to make management overwhelmingly easier.
The cover is made of special paper derived from pulp, so it won't tear.
Nylon thread rarely breaks.
