This was cherished by my grandmother. I understand it was purchased for around 500,000 yen and is quite a valuable item. A luxurious 13-string high-grade koto made of wood, featuring a beautiful kuri-ga (hollowed-out body) design. 1. Key Features of Ayasugi Carving: Unique Design: Skilled artisans meticulously carve a zigzag, diagonal lattice pattern, one by one, using chisels on the inside of the koto (underside of the body). Mark of a High-Quality Item: This is not found on standard practice kotos (which have namiko or sudare-bori carvings). It is a luxurious specification primarily used for advanced and concert-grade kotos known as kuri-ga. ① Improved Acoustic Effect (Adds richness and depth to the tone): By creating uneven surfaces inside, sound waves reflect complexly, resulting in a unique depth and resonance in the tone. ② High Artistic Value and Asset Value: The beautiful carving marks visible when looking through the soundhole (on the bottom of the koto) attest to its high value as a work of art. ③ Combination with Carefully Selected Materials: Kotos with Ayasugi carving are typically made from dense paulownia wood (such as Aizu wood) that has been grown for 40 to 80 years. About Kuri-ga: 1. Structural Highlight: Beauty of the Wood Grain Kuri-ga refers to a technique where a single log is luxuriously hollowed out so that the body (top surface) and the underside are integrated. Kuri-ga: The inside of the wood is carved out with special chisels, and the back plate is finished by being fitted in. As a result, there are no visible seams around the edges, creating a sense of unity as if it were carved from a single piece of wood, and allowing you to enjoy the flowing, beautiful wood grain. 2. Tonal Characteristics: Depth and Sustain Kotos with Kuri-ga have a significantly different resonance. Rich Sound: Most of these kotos feature Ayasugi-bori (wave-like carvings) inside. This optimizes the reflection of sound waves, producing a deep tone. 3. Luxurious Appearance (Edge Finishing) Kotos with Kuri-ga also feature the highest quality decorative finishes. - Type: High-grade Koto - Number of Strings: 13 - Material: Wood - Design: Kuri-ga - Color: Dark Brown ★ Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect, like-new item. ★ Please purchase only after agreeing to the product description. ★ Sold as-is. ★ The images show everything included.
