About

I am a Tokyo-born harpist currently pursuing post-graduate studies on contemporary harp music at DocMus department in Sibelius Academy, Helsinki. In addition to playing harp and studying harp music, I am delighted to perform and listen electronic music, and investigate aspects of performance art.

I will write here later more about my ideas on music. In the meanwhile, have a look on the text in Avanto Festival homepage.
