Tako Kichi.... That translates to "Kite Crazy" right?
You complained the Fender was too heavy, perhaps you are looking for a Japanese instrument that is so light that it doubles as a kite when there is a good, stiff wind? It must have an exceptionally long electrical cord.

Yes 'Tako Kichi' means kite crazy and I was a very active kite builder and flier before my illness took me off the kite field.
My electric bass is Japanese and about 2/3 the weight of a Fender (due to it's tiny body, little bigger than a guitar body) but still too heavy to fly!
