Joji Yoshida Guitars & Ukuleles
This brand is led by Joji Yoshida in Naha City, Okinawa Prefecture, who studied under Sergei de Jonge, a master guitar craftsman from Canada.
From a performer's perspective, Mr. Yoshida creates instruments that combine practicality with artistry.
A hallmark of his work is the meticulous selection of the highest-grade rare tonewoods (such as Brazilian rosewood) and finishing them with labor-intensive shellac (French polish). This process maximizes the deep, warm resonance inherent in the wood and achieves high playability. This is a high-end ukulele and guitar brand, produced in small quantities, and highly acclaimed both domestically and internationally.
