I am going to be in Japan for 2 1/2 months and would like to rent a shamisen (Tsugaru). We have a home address in Niigata that it can be sent to. Does anybody know of this kind of service. I am from Canada, and my wife is Japanese and is able to contact the company if needed. I have been learning Minyo songs (both singing and playing) for the past 4 years now and want to continue… but I don’t wish to take my shamisen with me.
Thank you for any suggestions.
Don
