This hairpin is modeled on a shamisen, with its shaft interpreted as the neck and the other parts of the instrument, apart from the body, accurately rendered. An ivory plectrum has also been added to this work, which was created with exquisite technique. (Paragon or Puzzle? Your Own Perspectives on Works in the Suntory Museum of Art Collection, 2024)
