About Chikumeisha France

Chikumeisha France is an independent association (under the French law of 1901) that aims to promote and to bring to a large audience the elements required to appreciate, understand and play the Japanese bamboo flute named shakuhachi. The focus is set on the repertoire and the style of the Chikumeisha branch of the Kinko school, that was founded by Shiro Yamaguchi in Japan, although other styles may be considered.

The activity of Chikumeisha France includes the organization of workshops lead by members of the association or by invited shakuhachi players. It also includes the organization of events such as concerts or performances, as well as the production of pedagogical material such as recordings, videos, manuals, scores and so on.
