Experience playing the shamisen in Tokyo! Introducing our popular trial lesson plans!

The shamisen is an instrument played by plucking three strings with a spatula-shaped stick, and is said to have been introduced from Ryukyu (Okinawa) during the Sengoku period. In my mind, I imagine people wearing hakama and playing lightly and at a fast tempo. When I go to Okinawa, the people on the island sing while playing the sanshin, which is very similar to the shamisen, but the sanshin often plays slower songs, so I wondered what the difference between the shamisen and the sanshin is.
