Performance Information

This performance will allow you to enjoy performances of multiple genres of traditional Japanese music, including shamisen, koto, and shakuhachi, all at once.
Enjoy a program that allows you to experience the unique sounds of each instrument and style, including shamisen music, koto music, and shakuhachi.
We will introduce the profound charm of traditional Japanese music, including its powerful yet delicate rhythms, flowing melodies, and highly improvisational expressions. We

also plan to set up a Japanese musical instrument experience corner in the Mitsukoshi Main Store Culture Salon.
Rather than just watching the performances, you can touch and play the instruments yourself, bringing you closer to traditional Japanese music culture.
This experience is easy to enjoy even for children and beginners, so we recommend attending with the whole family.
