The Japan Foundation, Kuala Lumpur (JFKL) is proud to present young and talented duo Hanamas live in Malaysia!

Chie Hanawa, who plays the tsugaru-shamisen, and Natsumi Okimasu, a violinist, joined together in 2009 to form Hanamas. Both of them, who are graduates from Tokyo University of the Arts, have been active in playing a variety of music genres. Within their pop sounds and melodies, Hanamas brings out the best from each of their instruments, and, at the same time, fuse them to create a harmony of Eastern and Western sensibilities. Having won the Prize for Encouragement at the 1st Neo Classical International Competition in 2010, they are definitely the duo to look out for, when it comes to fusions of great music!
