Misao Habu
Female Tsugaru Jamisen players are few, but Misao’s powerful yet
delicate play, as well as her outfit of traditional Japanese dress
(“Hakama”) are popular.
She has a great reputation, not only as a soloist, but also as an
accompanist, and even Japanese folk song critics are moved deeply.
She has a desire to let more people know the quality of Tsugaru
Jamisen, so she has taken her talents to India and has also joined
sessions with bands here at home. Misao has many places to perform.
