A special soprano ukulele combining the Ise Jingu sacred tree top and Jindaikusun (camphor wood) side/back!
This is a soprano ukulele specially crafted for the "Wakiki Kiko" luthier's talk show held on July 25, 2026.
This is a special instrument that combines "Jindai Kusunoki," which awakened from a long slumber, and rare "Ise Jingu Sacred Tree (Cedar)." The moment you hold it, you'll be greeted by the refreshing aroma of camphor wood and cedar.
Utilizing the appeal of these exquisite woods, the decorations are elegant and understated. Curly maple is used for the binding and rosette, providing a warm, woody accent. The 5th fret position marker features a snowflake inlay reminiscent of the crest of Ise Jingu.
This soprano ukulele boasts wonderful resonance and rich sound.
Size: Soprano
Body: Jindai Kusunoki × Ise Jingu Sacred Tree (Cedar)
