Okinawa sanshin rental business “Paikaji” started
*Okinawa sanshin is booming, reflecting the growing interest in Okinawa’s rich nature, culture, and music. We have started offering a rental plan that includes the main body claw mobile case for beginners who want to start playing Okinawa Sanshin. *
Okinawa sanshin (synthetic leather) claw mobile soft case Infovideo Co., Ltd. (Representative Director: Shunichi Komatsu, Saitama City, Saitama Prefecture) has launched the Okinawa Sanshin rental service “Paikaji.”
The set includes the sanshin body, claw, and portable soft case, so you can start playing the sanshin from the day you receive the product.
Background of business start
The Okinawa sanshin is a traditional stringed instrument from Okinawa Prefecture, loved by many people for its unique tone and historical background. It features three strings and a body covered in snakeskin. The sound produced by plucking the strings is deeply emotional and reminiscent of the landscape and culture of Okinawa.
Due to the recent Okinawa boom and the influence of NHK’s morning dramas “Chimudondon” and “Chura-san,” the number of new sanshin players is increasing. Okinawa sanshin classes are increasing at cultural centers and other places, but even if you want to buy a sanshin, there are no musical instrument stores in the metropolitan area or on the mainland that carry Okinawa sanshin, and they are limited to workshops in Okinawa. Therefore, the only options are to go all the way to Okinawa, visit the Okinawa fairgrounds that are held irregularly, or use e-commerce sites.
The reality is that in many cases, without any knowledge, they choose a product based solely on its appearance and price, and end up buying a new one a year or two later to find something they like more.
We started the Okinawa sanshin rental service “Paikaji” because we wanted to improve the fact that, except in Okinawa Prefecture, there is no environment in place for beginners to enjoy the Okinawa sanshin without any burden.
Even beginners can produce basic sounds on the sanshin relatively easily, and with repeated practice, they will be able to play a variety of songs. By arranging not only traditional Okinawan songs but also your favorite songs on the sanshin, you can expand the range of your performance and enjoy it even more. I would be happy if I could provide as many people as possible with the fun and sense of accomplishment that comes from learning the sanshin.
