introduction

When we talk about music in Japan, there is one gifted person whose name we should never forget.

That person is the koto master Miyagi Michio. Overcoming blindness, this composer of the famous “Haru no Umi” (Spring Sea) excelled on many fronts as a performer, educator, essayist, and instrument designer.
“The place where I walk is narrow, but the world I experience with my ears and my heart is wide.” What did this genius, who lost his sight at a young age, hear and feel, and what did he want to express?

The Miyagi Michio Memorial Hall, the first memorial hall in Japan to honor a musician, displays his legacy. We tell the world about traditional Japanese music by collecting materials about and preserving historic buildings related to Miyagi and making them available to the public. We also undertake research about Japanese music. The Miyagi Michio Memorial Hall is an “active memorial hall”, and we continue to stride toward the future.
The year 2014 marks the 120th anniversary of the birth of Miyagi Michio. Leading up to that milestone, the Foundation is undertaking a number of new projects. We ask that you support us in these efforts with your monetary donations, and we offer our sincere thanks for your understanding and support.
