Bringing additional excitement to the opening week of this year’s JFF | EIGASAI is a special performance by Shamisen Player Keisho Ohno. Ohno is a master of Shamisen, a three-stringed Japanese traditional music instrument, accredited at only twelve years old, and two years later became the first “authorized successor of authentic Chikuzan-bushi” shamisen player. He has toured worldwide in US, Europe, Africa, and Brazil, including a performance at the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) conference, as well as at the Japan Expo 2018 in Paris, France.
One of his original music compositions named “Samurai” are used as a theme song for the New Year Ekiden or marathon relay race held and broadcasted nationwide on the New Year in Japan.
Catch his performances on July 4 (6PM) at Level 2, Gateway Mall and July 6 (4PM and 7PM) at Shangri-La Plaza Grand Atrium.
