Experience Traditional Japanese Music 2024

Treat yourself and experience traditional Japanese music with this live performance recorded on 21/01/2024 at Makubetsu Centennial Hall in the Tokachi Subprefecture of Hokkaido, Japan.

This event was a profound journey through the heart of Japanese culture, featuring instruments like the Koto, Shamisen, Shakuhachi, and Piano. Each piece, from 'Spring Sea' to 'Kotohime no Uta', carried its own story and heritage, beautifully rendered by talented musicians such as Kumi Igarashi and Aizan Katagawa.

As a passionate follower of traditional Japanese music, attending and recording this event was an honor. I'm excited to bring more of these unique experiences to you on YouTube in the future.
