The personal and professional trajectory of this artist has always been linked to this instrument that she learned to play when she was three years old. Considered a child prodigy, her first performance in public was when she was four, at Tokyo’s National Theatre. After finishing her school studies, she studied musicology at the Academy of Arts in Tokio, graduating top of her class.
