This is an authentic Japanese medium neck shamisen. The neck appears to be Rosewood (Shitan) and the body is likely Karin (Indian Redwood), but as I am not an expert, please inspect the photos and judge the material for yourself. The upper nut (kamigoma) is made of metal alloy.
【Size】
The size is the standard "Seisun" length. The total length is 98.5cm, and the upper neck width is approximately 2.6cm. Body depth: 10cm. Body dimensions: approximately 22×20cm
