Kôetsu's Flowers Banjo
#42 2013
This was an old English 7 strings banjo which I have modified into a 5
string banjo with a quite wide and confortable neck. I have added inlays
inspired by a Japanese artist from the beginning of 17th century, Hon'Ami
Koetsu, known as a leader of the renaissance of classical culture in Kyoto
calligraphy.
Steel strings, calfskin head, 12in pot.
