Binzasara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Binzasara (編木 or 板ざさら) is a traditional Japanese percussion instrument used in folk songs, rural dances and kabuki theater. The instrument uses many pieces of wooden plates strung together with a cotton cord. With handles at both ends, the stack of wooden plates are played by moving them like a wave.[1]
