Asian instruments go great with rock

I don’t know why, but the timbre of Asian stringed instruments always matches so well with a rock or metal background for some reason, at least to my ears. It’s not something that I specifically search for, but I’m always happy when it crosses my timeline somewhere, like this YouTube short I saw a few days ago.

It reminded me of this very old video […]

1. Incremental shamisen progress! My instructor now knows (if she didn’t already suspect) that I know nothing about music.
2. Naps, and Pokemon sketches.
3. I just alt texted an audio file.

Yoshida Brothers-"Sakurachiri Mata Sakinikerunari"

Very cool song with a modern pop vibe and a Japanese shamisen as the lead instrument

A cat: ‘They smoked pipes, played dice’
by Helen Sullivan

"...This myth is still around today: domestic cats who live to be more than 10 years old become bakeneko. They kill their owners, walk around on their hind legs, and take over the home. Sometimes, they shapeshift into old women, or old women are said to actually be bakeneko. I hope this is my fate..."

Catchy, though, and I love the shamisen.

As summer festivals return to Japan in full force, a film dives into the lives of the people who keep the cultural elements behind them alive. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/culture/2023/07/06/films/film-reviews/passing-breath-compassionate-richly-textured-documentary/?utm_content=buffera094e&utm_medium=social&utm_source=mastodon&utm_campaign=bffmstdn #culture #film #documentary #shamisen #atiqakawakami #traditionalculture

Student learns Shamisen for seven years, then commissions Shamisen Komatsuya to build him an instrument.

The shape and tradition around all the parts of this instrument are fascinating to me, I am viewing via a different evolutionary path, would have solved the problems in other ways, but that's not Shamisen.

Also love the kitchen trapdoor with the special woods in the cellar.

Hello everyone! #introduction

I am an academic interested in archives, documentation, digital scholarships and university museum.

I work at Keio Museum Commons, a university museum in Tokyo, Japan as a project coordinator, curator, and editor ... basically I do almost everything for running a museum, as our museum is quite small.

Here I will post about my work, daily life and hobbies, including #cat, #fountainpen and #shamisen.
