Listen Later
On this special holiday episode of The One Piece Podcast we celebrate the art of the shamisen in One Piece and beyond! Joining host Zach and contributor Brodsky is Kirsten Carey (vocalist and guitarist for Throwaway, and writer at The Mary Sue, Polygon and many others) who discusses her history and experience with the shamisen.

We discuss the history of the shamisen and its use in the Wano Country arc of One Piece.
