[Profile]
Born in Gunma, Japan, in 1974, he began making classical guitars at the age of 20. He learned at Sakae Ishii's workshop, where he built about 140 guitars. In 2001, he attended a workshop with José Luis Romanillos in Sigüenza, Spain, which provided him with a decisive experience and convinced him that the traditional Spanish method was the direction he should take.
After returning to Japan, he set up a workshop in Tochigi Prefecture, and in October 2002, he launched the Romanillos model. His guitars are the fruit of his exploratory spirit and outstanding in their design and sonic perfection. He currently produces five to six guitars per year.
In 2018, a popular NHK program aired a video of him building in his workshop, and in 2020, his interview and instruments were featured in Orfeo Magazine No. 15, published by French publisher Camino Verde.

[Description]
This guitar is an ambitious work made of good wood that Tanabe received from Antonio Raja of Spain in 2004 as a token of their longtime friendship. Raja passed away on May 18, 2022, the same time as this work was completed, and this work is a homage to him. It sounds well with a heavy bass and tight treble, as is typical of the Santos model.
