*''Japanese'': 野村流 ''(Nomura-ryuu)''
Nomura-ryû is the largest school or style (''ryûha'') of classical Okinawan ''uta-sanshin'' (song and [[sanshin]]) music.
Like most schools of traditional arts, Nomura-ryû places great importance on direct transmission of the tradition from teacher to student. However, Nomura-ryû adheres more strictly to written (printed) [[kunkunshi|musical notation]] than the smaller, but prominent Afusô-ryû school of ''uta-sanshin''. The classical repertoire, as set by the school, is contained in the four-volume publication ''Nomura-ryû kunkunshii''.
The current head of Nomura-ryû in Hawaii is Norman Kaneshiro. His late sensei and predecessor, Harry Seishô Nakasone ([[1912]]-2011), was named a Living Treasure of Hawaii in 1992, and the previous year received a National Endowments for the Arts Folk Heritage Fellowship, making him a Living National Treasure of the United States, the first Asian-American to receive that honor.<ref>"[http://obits.staradvertiser.com/2011/04/02/harry-siesho-nakasone/ Harry Siesho (sic) Nakasone]."
