This is a bachi (plectrum) for the Okinawan sanshin, made from synthetic opal.
Although synthetic, it is made from materials manufactured by a reputable domestic company, and its aurora-like pattern makes it a truly unique piece.
The colors shift and shimmer depending on the angle, so you'll never get tired of admiring it.
Its hardness is comparable to that of a water buffalo horn bachi, so if the finger hole is too small, you can file it down yourself.
The color is white clear with fluorescent green and a hint of blue, and it appears reddish when held up to the light.
The size is 39mm in length, 26mm in width, and the finger hole is 16mm.
It is a shorter type, made for fast playing.
The material alone, a 20,000 yen block of this size, was used to carve this bachi.
