Hello fellow shamisen enthusiasts
I recently came across this series of Japanese videos on YouTube showing a luthier making a shamisen. Watching him made my hands itchy!
I had a bit a look before posting this, sorry if this is a repost!
Hi David!
Thanks a lot for very nice videos of making a shamisen.
cool I haven’t seen them earlier and welcome to the forum . . .
Oooh! This is really cool! I haven’t seen any shamisen making documentaries since that tourism-tokyo web series, about 5 years ago. This is nice as it’s higher quality, and the craftsman talks about the process as well.
I like how the title of the series is in English and the rest is in Japanese. 
Many thanks for sharing, David, and welcome to the forum! 
Wow, this is an amazing find!
I love it!
I just found another series of shamisen making videos. I really enjoy watching these
Ah yes! I watched those videos a LOT when I was making my first shamisen.
