 \n<strong>\nTHEME:  SANSHIN NU FII (SANSHIN DAY)</strong>\n\nIn celebrati
 on of <em>Sanshin nu Fii</em> or <em>Sanshin no Hi</em> (Sanshin Day) 
 in Okinawa\, we will be hosting special <strong>hands-on workshops geared
  toward first-timers\, beginners\, and intermediate players!</strong> The
  goal is to provide a <strong>comfortable and welcoming space to learn an
 d play\, </strong>especially for folks who have never picked up a sanshin
  before.\n\nSanshin is a traditional stringed instrument that is indigenou
 s to the Ryūkyū Islands\, recognizable for its snakeskin covering.  Eve
 ry year on March 4th\, Okinawa celebrates <em>Sanshin nu Fii</em> with s
 pecial events and performances throughout the islands.  The date was chos
 en because of the Japanese pronunciations of “3” and “4” – <em>
 “san”</em> and <em>“shi”</em> – resembling “sanshin” (sim
 ilar commemorative days include “Shiisaa Day” on March 3rd and “Gooy
 aa Day” on May 8th).\n\n<strong>A limited number of sanshin will be avai
 lable to use at the event\, but those who have access to an instrument are
  encouraged to bring it.</strong>\n<strong>\n<strong><strong><strong>\nSAV
