itomaki stuck

So my shamisen fell over, and as opposed to anything snapping, one of my itomaki has been pushed further in and will not move. Anyone know of a way to get it out safely?

I would have tried to push it out from the other side, maybe with a slight hammering motion. Trying to twist it loose would be more likely to break it I think.

But I have no idea if this is the best way.

OK! Got it out with no harm done. I had tried the hammering and it didn’t do much (maybe loosened it a bit), and then I grabbed it with something with a better grip, and it came loose with no issue. so relieved!
