Cosmic Puripura Sanshin

Miniature Plastic Kit: Okinawan Sanshin

A cultural icon of Okinawa, the Sanshin string instrument is now available as a miniature plastic kit.

The Sanshin is an essential part of Okinawan music, used in folk songs and traditional dance. Originating from China over 600 years ago, it has become deeply rooted in Ryukyuan culture. In recent years, it has gained renewed attention through performances by well-known artists and actors.

This kit features detailed printed designs, including realistic snake-skin texture on the body and wood grain patterns on the stand—capturing the essence of the instrument with precision.
