PROFILE
I am a musician of Japanese instruments (Koto and Shamisen) and a certificated expert of Koto (from Ikuta-school) Ikuta school is one of the main schools of Koto. I was born in Maebashi city, Gunma prefecture add have my school here. I started playing Koto when I was 10 years old and had a certification when I was 15 years old. Since then, I have enjoyned performing Koto and shamisen. While I offer Koto performance with various tunes from latest ones to traditional ones, I provide people with a lot of opportunities to learn about Japanese culture through various events and workshops. By doing so, I hope many people enjoy playing these instruments and listening to music and try to pass this culture to the generations.
