National treasure. Since this dotaku doesn't have any particular decoration of its handle nor the wide attachments to its sides known as hire, it can be categorized as one of the oldest dotaku made in Japan. It seems that this dotaku was used as a bell for a long time, and parts of its inside have been worn away.
