Invented in Egypt over 3000 years ago, the Sanshin made its way through the Middle East to China.
The Ryukyu Kingdom of course adopted it from China and it is now Okinawas Trademark Instrument.
Watch Shigeru Arakaki breakdown a Sanshin and explain about its parts. Then he will tune-it for you.
Thank you for watching CinemaXJapan .com.
