About

Japanese musician based in Milan, Italy.

In 2013, I moved from Japan (Kyoto) to Italy (Rome, L'Aquila, now in Milan) to study mandolin and this year I will go to Germany (Berlin).

Now I play in various forms such as solo and chamber music and arrange 16th, 17th century music for mandolin as one of my personal activities.

I wish I could show the mandolin to people and artists working in different fields, and show that mandolin can give you good inspiration.

Story

I started to study music at the age of three with a piano teacher and I got the opportunity to play another instruments like syamisen , drums and mandolin. When I was in junior high school, I was particularly absorbed in the mandolin.

My grandmother was a singer, actress of Japanese-period drama, and my great-grandmother was a syamisen player, Japanese traditional songs singer and dancer. Therefore my childhood fun was to play the instruments, sing with my grandmothers and their students.

Here are the roots that I feel attached to the old times and ethnic ones.
