Profile
【 General Incorporated Association Japan Shakuhachi Performers Network 】
The Japan Shakuhachi Performers Network (JSPN) was established in 2018 with the main purpose of "To raise the value of shakuhachi music and shakuhachi players and contribute to the development and spread of Japanese culture." in the hope of establishing an organization to which only professional shakuhachi performers in Japan, who are in leading positions, belong in order to further spread the shakuhachi to the world and stimulate the shakuhachi world. In 2022, the organization became a general incorporated association and continues its activities.
