This inlay is the origin of why the name “Tsukimi” (Moon viewing) is included in the name of this model. This design, which was placed on the fretboard in the original model “HF-YOZAKURA’21 DX F,S/STD,” is used on the headstock in this model. The exquisite balance between the thin crescent moon and cherry blossoms is Yome-chan’s favorite point.

Like the original model “HF-YOZAKURA ’21 DX F,S/STD”, a black fretboard material with excellent hardness was selected. For the inlay, motives of cherry blossoms were added in mother of pearl shell for an elegant finish.

The coloring “Yozakura gradation” is one Yome-chan’s favorite points. The coloring, which goes from a deep, almost black wine red to a vivid red, is mesmerizing to look at. The binding around the perimeter of the body and other detailed decorations are also faithfully reproduced from the original “HF-YOZAKURA’21 DX F,S/STD” model.

Myrtle wood was selected for the body side & back. Myrtle wood, which has a light and lively sound, is a good match for Yome-chan’s rythmical guitar finger style and was selected from among many possible options to best match this model.

The neck, which plays a major role in playability, has a thin, easy-to-grip grip that reflects Yome-chan’s commitment to playability. Of course, the body is colored in a cherry blossom gradation to match the body color, and the gloss finish gives it a luxurious look and feel.
