Last year, we introduced the TOKYO SHAMI EXPERIENCE, a unique venue where you can explore the exciting dynamics of the shamisen! This booking platform had only been established in 2020.
We are introducing a fresh two-hour workshop, where participants can handcraft their own shamisen, play a series of tunes, and sit back to enjoy a live performance over a cup of tea! The instrument you craft is yours to keep and play at your leisure at home.
Join us at our workshops that have been featured across TV, print media, and online platforms.
This workshop is perfect for those looking for a unique musical instrument hobby which is not typical among their peers, or for those who’ve always been intrigued by Japanese musical instruments but hesitant to try due to their perceived complexity.
This workshop is not limited to just playing the shamisen, but also provides background history and an explanation of the instrument. Everyone gets a chance to assemble their own shamisen kit and understand the uniqueness of its sound.
Take pleasure in this exclusive opportunity to delve into the profound world of Japanese culture!
