I’m a composer, oud and lute player from Japan and live in Germany. I compose and play modern style music on these traditional instruments – and support your daily life.
I studied historical music and music ethnology in Cologne/Germany and the Hague/Netherlands.
It’s a long way for many years until you master all the techniques and knowledge to create music like this.
I’m happy if my music can support you, but I also need your support.

Oud & Lute – King of Instruments
The origin of the oud belongs to the ancient times and similar instruments were used by the Babylonian and ancient Egyptian. Until today, oud is played as the “king of instruments” in Arabic culture.
The oud found his way to Europe in medieval times and it became “lute”. During the Renaissance the lute was also regarded as the “king of instruments”.
