“Rehearsals for ‘Ryugon x Kodo x Fumiyoshi x Hakkaisan’ Special Event” by Mitsunaga Matsuura

Every year Kodo’s special performance at the traditional Japanese inn Ryugon sells out. This year marks our 5th performance at Ryugon, which they are commemorating with a special event: a collaboration between Kodo and shamisen player Fumiyoshi.

The other day, Fumiyoshi came to Kodo Village to create music with us in preparation for the collaboration.

From our performance at Ryugon in 2013

Won’t you join us for a fabulous night of Kodo (taiko), Fumiyoshi (shamisen), Hakkaisan (sake), and Ryugon (inn and dinner)? A special Kodo unit led by Motofumi Yamaguchi will be waiting there for you!
