*''Japanese/Okinawan'': 開鐘三線 ''(keijou sanshin / keejoo sanshin)''
''Keijô'' is a term used to refer to individual [[sanshin]] instruments which were declared as such during the time of the [[Ryukyu Kingdom|Ryûkyû Kingdom]], a designation somewhat akin to "[[national treasures]]."
Since the kingdom is no more, of course, the number of surviving ''keijô'' sanshin is limited, and falling. Many were destroyed during World War II, while many others survived, either in Okinawa, or in the diaspora; quite a number can be found today in Hawaii.
