“CHIKUDO & Friends” will perform Tsugaru Shamisen. The Shamisen is a Japanese Traditional instrument. It has three strings that are played using a large pick. The Tsugaru Shamisen is a kind of music that puts performers and audience in a unique atmosphere! A lot of people say it’s similar to jazz. “Tsugaru Shamisen is the jazz of Japan!”
