Also in the nagauta music of "Sankyoku Ito no Shirabe" and "Sankyoku Sho-chiku-bai," things about shamisen, so and kokyu are chanted and the music of each instrument is played only on shamisen (without actually using the instruments of sankyoku).
また長唄曲『三曲糸の調』や『三曲松竹梅』では、三味線、箏、胡弓が詠われ、またそれぞれの音楽を三味線で表現している(三曲の楽器を実際に用いるわけではない)。
