  • I love this.

    Amazing.

    I'd love to go to Japan, to hear some Shamisen, Biwa, Gekkin and Sanshin live ;]

    Lovely Sweethearts from Germany.

  • WOWWWWWWWWWWWW

    SOOO COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOL!

  • god, she is good.

  • Wonderful! I've been to Kamakura before, wish I would've heard some music like this while I was there though

  • Yes, Kwaidan was excellent. The biwa playing before the Earless Hoichi was "Dan no Ura" by Ms. Tsuruta Kinshi, one of the defining players of the modern instrument.

  • Biwa is so cool! Thanks for posting.

    "Mimi nashi Hoichi" is my favourite part of Kobayashi Masaki's Kwaidan (1964), the film adaptation of - I believe - Lafcadio Hearn's compilation of folk tales. Anyone who has enjoyed this brief clip of biwa may want to consider watching Kwaidan. The biwa playing is superlative! Thanks again.
