Tinsagu nu Hana

Tinsagu nu Hana (てぃんさぐぬ花), also Chinsagu nu Hana (ちんさぐぬ花), is an Okinawan song about traditional Ryukyuan values such as filial piety and other Confucian teachings in the Okinawan language.

[3] The song is an Okinawan children's song; Okinawan children would squeeze the sap from balsam flowers to stain their fingernails as a way to ward off evil.

Of the first six verses, the first three relate to filial piety, while the latter three refer to respecting one's body and one's goals.

Each verse has exactly the same number of notes using language and meter devices that are uniquely Okinawan, called Ryūka.

[7] The Okinawa Prefectural government designated "Tinsagu nu Hana" as "Okinawa Prefecture's favorite song" on March 18, 2012, following a public survey.
