Thank you as always for the translation! There's a minor typo on page 10--you wrote "whish" instead of "wish."
I'm enjoying the ways the shamisen is being characterized, as well as the small echo of that in Watanuki's decision to wear Yuuko's clothes and smoke her pipe. Even inanimate objects can hold the memories and personalities of the people who used them, right? This reminds me of Yuuko's opening monologue on how humans' perceptions of the world shape it. (It also reminds me of the earth's reaction to the slow dying out of humans in Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou, but that's a stretch.)
