Traditional Japanese musical instruments are ultimate artifacts which combine sound producing structure and the beauty of objects. As contrasted to Western musical instruments which almost are mass-produced industrial products, complicated producing procedures of Japanese traditional instruments are still carried out by hands of craftsmen. This exhibition introduces their producing procedures to which the craftsmen spare no pains, and tries to search wisdom and skills of making instruments.
Demonstrations of producing the shamisen and wadaiko will be also given during the exhibition. |
