Greetings
ROXCY Music School has been open in Kyoto for 8 years since 2011.and we also opened the Japanese cultural experience class named SAKURA in the same place the summer in 2018.
We have had more foreign students coming in our music school in recent years and we learn many of them hope to play Japanese tunes as well.
Therefore we have come to think that we would like to introduce foreign people various Japanese cultures, not only Japanese music.
The name of SAKURA has been named after one of my ancestors, “Ihee Ito”, a gardener who was sponsored by Yoshimune TOKUGAWA, the eighth sh**un of the Tokugawa sh**unate in the Edo period. He developed Someiyoshino sakura that is one of the most common type of cherry trees in Japan and has been cherished by Japanese people.
I assume Japanese cherry blossoms and trees are well known to you but by who and how they started are not known so well. If you are interested in it and can afford to have time, it is my great pleasure that you go to the site of our page where it is described and the historical figures in my family are also shown.
SAKURA can provide the experience classes of various kinds of Japanese culture such as Japanese cuisine, Kado (Ikebana), Sado (Tea ceremony), Shodo (Calligraphy), Wagakki (traditional Japanese musical instruments), etc.
I think many of you are supposed to visit Kyoto only for a short time. In this case you may have very limited time doing what you would like to do and may also feel tired after visiting many different places a day, which may not be so effective way of doing. SAKURA is the place for you to be able to enjoy experiencing multi kinds of classes in the same building.
Our place is located at Kawaramachi in the center of Kyoto.
It will be our great pleasure to have you in our place so that you may surely enjoy yourselves fulfilling your dreams and finding something new during your stay in Kyoto.
We are sincerely looking forward to seeing you soon.
