I’m a classic guitarist, specializing in improvised playing. I majored in classic guitar in a New York college, and while I was there, I got fascinated by creative music therapy which utilized sounds in a spontaneous, impromptu way to treat the elderly and autistic kids. It gave me an epiphany that human intuition to “identify” something —I call this “minashi”（will in Japanese)— is essential to improvisation. Today, to discover what it means to “truly connect” with people, I continue my journey and provide places for people to take part together in spontaneous musical sessions with my 19th century guitar.

I invite people to take part in an age-old Japanese Shinto custom called “Naorai”. 

Naorai is a banquet held after Shinto festivals and ceremonies, and originally had the purpose of breaking the fast to going back to normal day-to-day life by eating and drinking together. 

I believe we can recreate the spirit of Naorai by substituting music for food and sharing our own sounds. 
After introducing ourselves to each other, you can indulge yourself in the sounds of the 19th-century guitar as I play widely-known guitar masterpieces, as well as a Japanese nursery rhyme. 

At the end of the session, I’ll wear a Noh mask and improvise a song, which you are welcome to join me and jam out together. 
It doesn’t even have to be a musical instrument, play whatever and however you feel like playing; If the action of grinding coffee beans makes you focus, that’s the instrument for you.
