Chinton, crafted by Sangenshi Kikuoka, is a compact shamisen designed to bring the joy of this instrument into your everyday life.
At about two-thirds the size of a traditional shamisen, its charming form invites you to pick it up and play.
Yet its quality is authentic — each one is carefully handcrafted by a certified traditional artisan.
It is played the same way as a standard shamisen, making it the perfect first step for anyone thinking, "Someday, I'd love to play the real thing."
The standard model features a simple white acoustic membrane that highlights the natural beauty of the cypress wood. Its clean appearance blends naturally into any space.
