This edition of Improtech in Tokyo has welcomed a number of brillant personalities during a week long series of workshops and lectures at Tokyo University of the Arts (Geidai), crowned by three exceptional concerts including an event at one of the oldest and most revered Tokyo Shinto shrines, Konno Hashimangu, frequented by writer Mishima.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

One of the signatures of this Improtech is the east – west encounter of different instruments, musical traditions and performing arts, with the presence of world-class virtuoso playing the Koto, the Sho, the Kugo, or dancer performing the Butoh dance.<\/p>\n<\/div>
