The soft cover that you wrap your shamisen in after playing is called a \u201cNagabukuro\u201d\u2014literally, \u201clong bag\u201d in Japanese. Traditionally, these long covers are made of silk, but more affordable versions in synthetic silk are widely used, and beautiful cotton versions are becoming increasingly common. I personally call this handy accessory my \u201cShamijama\u201d, because my shamisen feels just as cozy and secure in it as I do in a comfy pajama. Plus, it\u2019s just easier to say than the somewhat clunky \u201cNagabukuro.\u201d <\/div>\n

A Misunderstood Helper<\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve noticed that many players outside Japan consider this extra layer of protection unnecessary and skip getting a Shamijama. Of course, the shamisen will survive without it, but considering the love, time, and craftsmanship that goes into making the instrument\u2014and the attachment we naturally feel to it\u2014using a Shamijama is worth considering. These fabric covers aren\u2019t just practical; they\u2019re decorative and look very elegant when tied correctly. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.7.7″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n

The Nagabukuro isn\u2019t the same as a soft case for transport\u2014it\u2019s for extra protection. If your shamisen is safely resting on a shelf at home, the Nagabukuro keeps it dust-free and neatly wrapped. Traditionally, it\u2019s a rectangular cut with one side sewn for about a third of its length and a long cord for tying. While classic models are silk, modern alternatives in synthetic silk or cotton exist. Its purpose is simple: to protect your shamisen from dust, dirt, and other environmental hazards\u2014like curious cat paws! If you just throw the instrument into the cover and tie it quickly, gaps remain along the sides where dust or dirt can sneak in, and it doesn\u2019t look very tidy. Taking the time to wrap it properly eliminates those gaps and gives a neat, presentable appearance. <\/div>\n

Note: <\/strong>If your shamisen has a natural skin, don\u2019t forget the Washi cover, which protects the skin from moisture. You can leave it inside the Nagabukuro\u2014it doesn\u2019t need to be removed every time.<\/em><\/p>\n
