Shamisen finger slide

100% Cotton. Available in your choice of color.

We can also add your initial, hiragana, simple kanji, or motifs such as cherry blossoms, flowers, and hearts. Please let us know your preferences.

These finger cots do not extend beyond the thumb, so they can be used for actual performances.

We hope you will have your own unique finger cot.
We also accept orders without motifs.

If you have other colors or motifs you like, please let us know in the comments section on this page, where you can choose the color and motif for your finger cot. We will create a dedicated listing for you.

Can be customized for chu-zao (medium-neck) and hoso-zao (thin-neck) shamisen, as well as Tsugaru shamisen.

We will ask for your size after purchase.

Reference Sizes: Thumb first joint circumference: Extra Large approx. 8-8.5 cm, Large approx. 7-7.5 cm, Medium approx. 6-6.5 cm, Small approx. 5-5.5 cm. We make them to these approximate sizes, but we can also create them to fit your specific finger measurements, so please let us know.
