A Night of Rhythm and Dance: 'KISHIN'

The much-anticipated taiko performance 'KISHIN' returns to Tokyo on July 31, 2025, at the Bunkyo Civic Hall. Under the direction of Ken Sato, often referred to as "the man chosen by taiko," this electrifying event promises an amazing blend of traditional Japanese drumming intertwined with contemporary dance.

Ken Sato, known for his exceptional talent and powerful rhythms, has established a distinguished reputation over the years. At his practice venue, the Zeshikan in Togakushi, he has honed his skills through immense dedication and discipline, even in the freezing winter days of the Japanese countryside. His performances are marked by an incredible display of taiko techniques which captivate audiences. Sato's solo work, including his signature piece "Chihayaburu," will be a highlight, showcasing his mastery.

This year, 'KISHIN' features the return of renowned dancer Fukiko Takase, who embodies not only grace but also an unrivaled energy in her movements. As a recognized talent on international stages, she has been involved in various high-profile projects, including tours with famous artists such as Hikaru Utada. Her appearance promises to elevate the performance to new heights as she collaborates with Sato on pieces like "Sarasvati's Mirror."

Adding to the prestige of the evening is a special guest appearance by Mimosa Koike, a principal dancer with the Monte Carlo Ballet. Her participation in 'KISHIN' brings a dazzling dimension to the performance, combining three top-class artists. This unique fusion of taiko and dance not only entertains but also aims to evoke deep emotional responses and invigorate the audience's spirits.
