Masao Koga and the Taishogoto
Masao Koga was very fond of the Taishogoto, a unique Japanese string instrument invented in the Meiji era. He actively incorporated the Taishogoto into his musical activities and greatly contributed to its popularization. Therefore, models supervised by him or bearing his name were released by instrument manufacturers such as Zen-On.
While the condition shown in the images shows signs of age-related deterioration (stains, rust, etc.), this is a common characteristic of antique and vintage instruments.
