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).
