Yoshimi Tsujimoto

Yoshimi Tsujimoto

the best known as beautiful shakuhachi player in a world.

Biography
Female shakuhachi player graduated from Tokyo University of the Arts
Born in Wakayama Prefecture in 1987.
Influenced by her father, a shakuhachi player, she started playing shakuhachi as soon as she entered high school, and entered and graduated from the Faculty of Music at Tokyo University of the Arts, Japan's top music university. She has attracted media attention as a beautiful shakuhachi player since she was a student, and with her solid technique and friendly personality, she has been active in a wide range of genres from pure Japanese music to pop music.
Her activities transcend national borders, and she has been invited to perform in the United States, Italy, France, Brazil, and other countries around the world, giving 53 overseas performances in 33 cities in 24 countries.
In 2015, a video of Yoshimi Tsujimoto's participation in a Japanese instrumental cover created a huge sensation on social networking sites around the world. This led her to form her solo project, “Bamboo Flute Orchestra,” with the hope that people of all ages around the world will learn more about the beauty of traditional Japanese instruments.
In 2016, she made her major debut as the first ever female solo shakuhachi player with the album “SHAKUHACHI” from SME Records.
I want people of all ages around the world to know more about Japanese traditional instruments! With this desire in mind, she is working day by day to make this instrument known to people of all ages around the world!
