Business Overview

Tokiwazu-bushi is traditional Japanese music that was born and raised in Edo over 200 years ago. Young musicians from all over the school gathered and tried their hand at playing "Omitsu Kyoran" and "Seki no Door," two masterpieces of Tokiwazu-bushi that have been handed down from generation to generation. This piece is not performed in Kabuki performances unless highly skilled performers are present, but only young performers took on the challenge. Senjutayu TOKIWAZU himself gave an explanation and then performed, which brought the audience together, and the applause at the end of 'Seki no dojo' was different from past concerts. By disseminating information through SNS, they appealed to new audiences who wanted to listen to Tokiwazu.
