About the organizer

Gen is a small-scale traditional Japanese music workshop where participants can experience the heartbeat of Japan's traditional culture through its instruments. 

You can listen to the beautiful sounds of instruments Japan is proud to share with the world, such as the koto and shamisen. Held in a small private house, these intimate sessions allow attendees to watch professional musicians up close and enjoy conversations with them. 

We hope that both domestic and international guests will deepen their understanding and enjoyment of Japanese culture through this journey of sound.
