Mitsune

With a sound that blends traditional Japanese folk with psychedelic, cinematic and ritual music, serving modern folklore with a punk mentality, the heart and soul of Mitsune is the Tsugaru shamisen, a traditional 3-stringed lute popularised by blind wandering musicians of olden Japan. Mitsune both honours and modernizes shamisen tradition, conveying their own stories through this ancient instrument. Their eccentric and electric live show is filled with raw energy, decadent visuals, and a sprinkle of humour.
