FUJIWARA no Michiyama (Japanese traditional music): European performances and workshops
Business Overview
Shakuhachi player Fujiwara Michiyama and Wagakki multiplayer Murasawa Joji brought the appeal of traditional Japanese musical instruments to Lithuania, which celebrated 35 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 2026, by mixing classic and original compositions with Japanese songs that are well known overseas, such as Haru no Umi (Michio Miyagi) and SUKIYAKI (Kyu Sakamoto). They also played local and Japanese music together with Lithuanian players of the "cankles," a traditional instrument that celebrated 120 years since its birth, and local pipe organ players.
