This time I bought it as a gift for a friend.
In Japan, when a person turns 60 years old, he or she celebrates the "kanreki" (60th birthday). The color "red" is used for the kanreki celebration. Red is said to ward off bad luck and evil spirits, and red was used for maternity clothes in the olden days. Giving a red gift for the kanreki celebration is meant to wish the recipient an uneventful and healthy life.
I searched and searched, but I couldn't find anything more suitable for my guitar-loving friend's kanreki (60th birthday) celebration. I hope he will use it for a long time to come.
