Each tune is carefully selected to provide context. The program features both ancient and modern Japanese traditional music, along with a cover of a western hit to showcase the unique sound of Japanese instruments. Musicians in kimono and their instruments will be right in front of you. From the Koto and Shamisen to the Shakuhachi flute and Taiko drums, we have a range of ‘wagakki’ for a truly breathtaking musical adventure.
