Also known as the "Japanese Sanxian", it is a traditional Japanese string instrument that originated in China and later spread to Japan. Composed of a flat wooden resonance box, a long neck, and three strings. The playing style of shamisen is unique, and performers usually use plectrum to play, producing crisp and pleasant sounds. The shamisen plays an important role in Japanese culture, especially in Kabuki, Bunroku (puppet theater), and traditional Japanese music forms such as "Tokugawa" and "Nagao", where it is an indispensable accompaniment instrument. It is a symbol of Japanese music culture, and shamisen is not only one of the representatives of traditional Japanese crafts.

It is a representative of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, which involves re bonding broken ceramic fragments with gold powder or paint to give them new life and beauty. The term 'jinzao' comes from the Japanese word 'jin 継ぎ', meaning 'repair with gold'. This technique is not just about restoration, but also an art form that views fragmentation as a part of life, connecting fragments with gold threads to showcase a unique aesthetic. High quality ceramic materials are usually selected, carefully designed and made, then intentionally broken and repaired. The aesthetic concept of gold vase corresponds to the Japanese culture of "wabi sabi", which appreciates the beauty of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness.
