According to books written about the history of Kikuchi called “Kikuchi City History” and “Shimaya Nikki”
It seems that Kikuchi has been familiar with shamisen since the Edo period.
Why don't you experience the shamisen in Kikuchi, where you don't have many opportunities to see, hear, or touch it firsthand?
The experience location is the “Old Matsukura Family Residence,” which has been designated as a registered tangible cultural property of the country
Please take this opportunity to experience the interior of this valuable building.
