This special concert features Kyoto-based koto artist Yumi Nishio, whose delicate and evocative playing brings the rich tones of the koto to life; renowned hichiriki master Ryousuke Fukami, whose expressive wind instrument adds depth and emotion to each piece; and the soulful sounds of the Shinobue bamboo flute, completing a harmonious collaboration.

·  Koto – A traditional Japanese stringed instrument, typically with 13 strings stretched over movable bridges. It is played by plucking the strings with finger picks, producing a soft, elegant, and melodic sound often used in classical and contemporary Japanese music.

·  Hichiriki – A small, double-reed Japanese wind instrument, similar in tone to an oboe but with a distinct, hauntingly rich sound. It is commonly used in Gagaku (ancient Japanese court music) and provides a deep, expressive voice in ensemble performances.
