Minyō is a traditional style of Japanese folk music that developed from the everyday lives, work, and celebrations of local people. Lyrics are often stories of each prefecture’s famous products, scenery, love stories, work, etc. The shamisen is a three-stringed traditional Japanese musical instrument. Musicians pluck or strike the strings using a large plectrum called a bachi, creating a unique percussive quality.
