A History of the Sanshin

Okinawa was once an independent nation, called the Kingdom of the Ryukyus until 1879. During this era, the kingdom established a tributary relationship with China, from which the culture of the island nation was extensively influenced.

 

In the 14th century, various kinds of music instruments were introduced to the Ryukyus, including the prototype of the Sanshin. A series of improvements to these instruments have been made so as to fit the culture of Okinawa, which resulted in the design of the instrument we see today.

 

During the Kingdom Era, people treated the Sanshin as a court instrument that was played at royal events or as a device to nurture the ruling class culture. The instrument later spread to commoners where it was played at local festivals, theatrical plays as well as parties among the youth. It continues to play a vital role in festive events in Okinawa today.

 

The people of Okinawa have a custom of displaying the Sanshin in the alcove of their homes. Such a custom shows an appreciation which goes far beyond being an musical instrument.
