Entertainment highlights include "Shuichiro and Daichi", a renowned Tsugaru-jamisen band (http://www.shuichiro-kuboki.com/).
The shamisen is a traditional Japanese three-stringed musical instrument played by plucking with a large plectrum. The Tsugaru variety of the shamisen is characterized by frenetic notes that some say echo the wild, furious, turbulent winter seas of the Tsugaru Straits between the islands of Honshu and Hokkaido.
Shuichiro Kuboki has been playing the Tsugaru-jamisen since childhood, and professionally for over 32 years. Versatile in both traditional minyo folk music and modern new-age music, he has released several albums, and performs regularly in solo and in concert at cultural events and concerts throughout the country. Daichi (meaning the earth or the ground) is a Tsugaru-jamisen and chorus band that Shuichiro started in 1998.
Shuichiro is keen to share his knowledge of the Tsugaru-jamisen. He has published two textbooks from Yamaha for beginners and intermediate students. On the international stage, he has been on good-will tours through Canada, the USA, Myanmar, Pakistan, Nepal, and Bangladesh.
At the Conference Banquet, Shuichiro will introduce you to a facet of Japanese music that bridges the past and present. Come join us for an evening of culture and cuisine.
