[Profile]
Marin Nejime was born in 1986 and is the son of Kojiro Nejime (Alberto Nejime Ono). Influenced by his father, he developed an interest in music and crafts from an early age, and after several visits to Spain, in September 2012, he stayed in Granada for an extended period of time to study under his father's mentor, Antonio Marin Montero. He builds his instruments based on traditional Spanish construction methods, which he incorporates with fresh and unique acoustic characteristics. In particular, the precision and beautiful finish of the paintwork is as excellent as that of his father and mentor, and every model shows a beautiful appearance. He has received high acclaim abroad and in 2017 won a prize in the production competition of the International Guitar Festival in Granada; in 2020 his interview and instruments were featured in Orfeo Magazine No. 15, published by the French publication Camino Verde.

Orfeo Magazine No.15 features an interview with Kaoru Ono(Masahiro Tanabe, Alberto Nejime Ohno, Marin Nejime, Yuichi Shimizu, Daisuke Kuriyama)

[Description]
The new 2024 'Fuente de las Batallas', an original model produced by Marin Nejime, is now in stock. The name of this model on the label is the name of a magnificent and elegant fountain found in the city of Granada. Together with its previous model, 'Cuesta de Caidero', it shows respect to one of the best guitar-making cities in Spain and to his mentor Antonio Marin. In addition to the label, there is a handwritten inscription inside the body that reads 'Homenaje a Maestro Antonio Marin'. This is truly a tribute to Granada, and at the same time, a purely musical and extremely modern instrument that has been completely re-created. The original design of the rosette and bridge, which are new to this model, combine with the striking red color of the cocobolo wood on the back and sides to create a stylish look and an attractive appearance. The entire piece is finished with beautiful shellac.
