Cultures blend during Japan Day

MISAWA AIR BASE, Japan -- A Japanese woman performs a folk dance accompanied by shamisen music during the 23rd Annual Japan Day April 3 at the Collocated Club. The shamisen is a three-stringed fretless lute common in Japanese folk music with a sound similar to a banjo. The Tsugaru shamisen used in the performance is unique to northern Japan with a longer neck for a deeper sound. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Samuel Morse)
