Experiencing Shamisen (three-stringed Japanese lute) and old-fashioned Japanese parlor/party games [3月 24,2016 ]
Mr. Hidesetsuhiro Fujimoto, a well-known shamisen instructor, was invited to give a lecture on the traditional Japanese musical instrument called shamisen on January 12, 2016 at the CJLC Hall. After learning about the instrument, the Maple students had the chance to actually play it as well as play old-fashioned Japanese party games. It goes without saying that the students were able to experience Japanese traditional performing arts by watching the shamisen and shishimai (traditional lion dance) performances.
