Special Performer from Japan

Tomokuni Terukina - Ryukyuan Classical Musician

Japan Habba 2023 presents special performer Tomokuni Terukina, a Ryukyuan classical musician,  coming to Bangalore, all the way from Okinawa, Japan. Terukina is a Sanshin artist/master from the Ryukyu classic Afuso-ryu Musical school. The art of playing the Sanshin has been traditionally passed down from generation to generation. Terukina learnt the Sanshin from his father, late Choichi Terukina, a Sanshin grandmaster and who held the title “Living National Treasure of Japan”.
🤔

What is Sanshin?

Sanshin (三線) is an essential musical instrument in Ryukyuan performing arts and precursor of the mainland Japanese shamisen (三味線).
