*''Japanese'': ちぢん, or 鼓 ''(chijin)''
A ''chijin'' is a type of Okinawan hand drum, which appears in the ''[[Omoro soshi|Omoro sôshi]]'' and is believed to have been used in [[Ryukyu Islands|Ryûkyû]] since ancient times. It is still used today in certain folk dances, especially rural/agricultural women's circle dances such as ''ushideeku'' and ''shinugu''.
