Hear Kyoto’s koto and shamisen in a small Japanese home, then learn a simple koto piece with a professional musician.
“This koto experience was incredible and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in Japanese traditional instruments/music! The performer is very talented and her koto playing leaves you feeling emotional - her ability to project her voice was singing is impressive too. The translator/presenter was very knowledgeable about the koto/shamisen and provided some interesting facts about their origins and how to read the music score. Both the performer and presenter were helpful when I was learning how to play the koto in the session, helping me with techniques and when playing a piece with the performer. Everyone involved in this project are so friendly and enthusiastic about their craft! Next…”
