What is that chained to her wrist? Some kind of weapon, no doubt, but I can't conceive of a giant shoehorn as a weapon. It just seems a rather inconvenient shape. After some research, I suppose it is a biwa, a lute, only it has no neck or strings in this picture. It transforms? Doesn't seem very well thought out.

The strings are magical. You do raise an interesting question about what constitutes her real body as an artifact spirit. Her sister doesn't even carry something that could have been a koto.

Raiko gave them modern instruments so they could transfer their power into them to keep from turning back into a normal Biwa and Koto.
