About Gen
Gen is a group that performs traditional Japanese music concerts.
We specialize in showcasing the enchanting sounds of koto (Japanese harp) and shamisen (three-stringed lute), offering a unique window into Japanese culture.
Based in Kyoto, we provide special cultural experiences tailored to international visitors.
Our concerts are held regularly, almost daily, and are currently available for booking at two locations: Mibu and Kujo in Kyoto.
