Business Overview
We will spread the appeal of the traditional Japanese culture of koto. I chose songs that I had a connection with, taking into account the sense of the season. "Haru no Megumi" was his favorite piece among the pieces he learned from master Shigeko HISUMOTO, who made him start playing koto. "Saga no Aki" and "Akakabe fu" are songs related to my current master, and they are the ones that shaped who I am today. The supporting performers were her older sister's apprentice and shakuhachi players, and the staff members were close friends, juniors, family members and relatives.
