Shamisen Experience for Foreigners in Kyoto Case Study
Case1
Tsugaru Shamisen and Japanese instruments
We planned a new musical experience for an overseas VIP couple, featuring Tsugaru Shamisen and Japanese drums and other Japanese instruments.
After a brief introduction to the history and background of the music first, the audience enjoyed a powerful performance up close by professional performers.
The content of the performance can be customized to the customer’s taste with prior consultation. We offered a heartwarming moment in which guests could fully enjoy a specially arranged performance in a high-quality environment.
Case2
Mixed performance of Tsugaru Shamisen and calligraphy
A government VIP visiting from Europe requested a Tsugaru shamisen experience, and we proposed a unique performance combining Tsugaru shamisen and calligraphy.
Following a powerful performance of Tsugaru shamisen, a calligrapher dynamically drew letters to the sound of the shamisen.
In addition, we offered a special and memorable hospitality by writing the customer’s name on a fan as a commemorative gift.
We are working day and night to spread Japan’s unique hospitality culture to people around the world. Please feel free to contact us for any inquiries regarding the reception and hospitality of guests visiting Japan.
