Ichiro Takahata Koto Recital: For Naho Kachijima

2026/11/03(Tu.) 12:45 Starting

Airef HallFukuoka

Titled “Ichiro Takahata Koto Recital: To Naho Kachijima,” this performance begins with Part 1 (free of charge), in which I will Hiroshima, and Ichikawa studios, through a diverse program that reflects on the “path of the koto” he has walked with unwavering dedication for 30 years. In Part Two (ticketed), he will welcome young supporting performers from Tokyo to explore “new possibilities for the koto” and “the art of the koto,” focusing primarily on his own compositions. Please look forward to the rich tapestry of sounds woven by the koto, the three-stringed shamisen, the 17-string bass koto, and the shakuhachi—as well as their delicate, beautiful tones and a power beyond imagination that can only be experienced live!
