We've started handling Seiza chairs for seated playing. These allow you to maintain the correct posture when playing the shamisen, koto, shakuhachi, and so on in a seated position, while reducing the burden on your feet and waist. Two types are available: a "folding type" at a reasonable price and a height adjustable "three-stage type". Because they reduce foot pain and numbness, they are recommended not only for practicing musical instruments, but also when sitting seiza for a long time in Memorial services.

We've started handling sheet music stands for seated playing. You can use it for shamisen, koto, shakuhachi, etc. The lineup of three types includes a reasonable price plastic model, a paulownia wood model with carved feet, and a luxurious model with a baked paulownia finish. It is easy to assemble and can be easily carried to practice and concerts. Because of its compact design, it can be used in ensembles where space is limited.
We've started handling shamisen stands. The compact, three-legged stand is compatible with the Nagauta / Minyou shamisen. The four-legged stand is stable with more depth, and is recommended for the larges Tsugaru shamisen. Both can be folded, making them compact and easy to carry. They are recommended for use between practice or rehearsal sessions.
We've started handling Nagauta shamisen used in Nagauta (Japanese classical music). The main body is made of Karin wood (African Red Oak), and the skin is dog skin (kenpi). The lineup includes three types: "middle", which is reasonably priced and ideal for beginners, and "top" and "special" models, which use the highest-grade of Karin wood available. We also have an accessory set that includes everything you need to take up playing shamisen, including a soft case, bachi (pick for shamisen), tuner, instruction book, and so on. Karin shamisen are recommended for those who are considering taking up the instrument.
