Have they got themselves done up in nihongami?

[kikkogrl]

I did a bit of research about nihongami, but I'm not really sure. I'm sorry but I don't know!

与那国小唄

[kikkogrl]

Ah, this is the name of the song... Thanks Chichiri520! For those of us that are kanji-challenged, it's read よなぐに　こうた - Yonaguni Kouta.

so what exactly is the difference between the sanshin andthe shamisen?

all i can think of is that it sounds a bit softer than a shamisen

[kikkogrl]

I'm not an expert, but some facts from internet: Sanshin covered in snake skin neck is made of black kuruki wood circular shape, smaller size shorter length played exclusively in Okinawa pick - insert finger into hollow comma-shaped pick Shamisen: covered in cat or dog skin neck is made of the same wood as taiko drums (sakura?) rectangular shape, larger size played all over Japan pick - shaped like a small paddle
