Beschreibung
The shamisen is a musical instrument of traditional Japan.
Women from the pleasure quarters playing the shamisen are the
subject of numerous woodblock prints by famous print artists
of the Edo period (1600-1868).
Yet the instrument also exists in contemporary culture where it
has a role transmitting both historical and modern music styles.
