Sanshin experience
Let's try playing the sanshin, a traditional Okinawan instrument.
It's okay if you don't know the sheet music or notation for the sanshin.
We will guide you slowly, one note at a time, so please enjoy your sanshin experience with peace of mind.
We've prepared some familiar songs, so let's play the sanshin, sing along, and enjoy some Okinawan time together!
