With this concert, we would like to introduce Japanese culture through Min?yo as a window to Japanese ordinary people?s life. Performers are two prominent Min?yo singers, TANAKA Shoko and NAKAMURA Hitomi, both specialising in Japanese folk songs. The concert includes Min?yo songs from all over Japan. Min?yo songs are written according to some topics like seasons and depiction of labourers? working life.
