Tsugaru Lessons in Tokyo

Hi folks!

Hope you are right!.

I have 3 questions about TSUGARU Shamisen lessons in Tokyo:

  1. Can you suggest me some teachers that teach in Japanese language?. Is for a friend that is asking for a scholarship.

  2. Can you suggest me some teachers that teach in English?. Is for me, because I am planning travel to Japan next year.

  3. More difficult!: can you suggest me a teacher that can play Tsugaru Style AND Koto?. (I know this is difficult!).

Thank you very much!!

Best!
Bruno

Hi Bruno,

The only person I personally know who fits all three questions is Shishido san (‘Shamimaster Toshi’ on Bachido) He speaks both languages, and I believe plays both instruments. Send him a message! :slight_smile:

Kyle is right, Toshi can do all three. I studied with him while I was there. He’s also a really cool guy, so you should definitely look him up.

I too must agree! Toshi is the one you are looking for!

Thank you very much Kyle&Eric&Kevin.
It seems Toshi is THE guy!

Yay, agree Toshi is a right guy!

Toshi does seem to be THE guy!

Now the next question, where is he?

TOSHI!!

Hi, Thank you everyone! I’m toshi, tsugaru jamisen and koto player, speaking Japanese and English.I live in shinjuku-district 7 minutes away from akebonobashi station , 2 stations away from shinjuku station by toei-shinjuku line.

Aha!! Here he is! Konnichiwa Toshi San!

Hi Toshi san!
