Illustrated Shamisen scene — AI-generated artwork behind this musical instrument's word search puzzle

Shamisen, as a word search. 12 words drawn from its parts, its materials, and how it is played sit hidden in a 15×15 letter grid, running in every direction. Drag across a word to claim it, and clear the board to finish.

Words to find: BACHI, KOMA, SARA, KASHIRA, KOSHI, KIRI, SAKURA, SILK, NYLON, SAWARI, UCHIKOMI, HIRAME.

Found words stay highlighted, so the grid gets easier to read as you go and the final few tend to fall quickly.
