寂空-JACK- （津軽三味線）
Nice to meet you. I am “寂空 (Jack),” a professional Tsugaru shamisen performer.
My motto on Cafetalk is to have “fun,” be “gentle” and teach in an “easy to follow” manner. I would like to help make the shamisen instrument a more familiar part of your life.
In my lessons, I plan on starting with the “basics” necessary to play the shamisen with ease, and from there, I will gradually tailor the lessons to the student’s needs in a fun and enjoyable way!
・I’m interested in it, but I don’t have the musical instrument.
・I don’t have any knowledge or experience in music.
Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you are interested.
I will do my best to support you!
I have been a professional player for 18 years, so I can also cater my lessons to advanced level learners. As I am an English speaker, I can also offer lessons in English.
I look forward to hearing from you!

Profile
Shamisenist Jack (Tsugaru shamisen)
Genre escaping, boundary crossing shamisen musician and with a diverse approach that bridges the distance all the way from shrines and temples to rock festivals.
Equally active in Japan and overseas, Jack led his band The Shamisenists in a performance at the Rugby World Cup official reception at the Yokohama Arena in 2019, and in the following year they went on to win the World Debut Auditions held by an American music label.
In 2022, The Shamisenists were the sole Japanese band to perform at the famous MOTOCULTOR festival in France.
Prolific as a solo artist, Jack performed at the Fuji Rock festival in 2023.
In August of the same year, the song “Décolleté (feat. JACK),” a collaboration with artist VITOMME, was adopted as the ending theme song for Yomiuri TV and Nippon TV’s “秘密のケンミンSHOW極 (Secret Kenmin Show).”
In 2022 he served as music director of the Hiratsuka Expo, held in Hiratsuka City in Kanagawa Prefecture.
In 2024, he moved his center of activities to Kyoto and opened the International Shamisen Studio ‘SHAMISEN DOJO’ in Nishijin.
Main awards received:
In 2014, Jack won the Silver Prize in the Class A division of the Tsugaru Shamisen World Tournament.
In 2019, on the anniversary of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth, Jack was awarded the Indian Foreign Minister’s Award for his arrangement of the Japanese version of Gandhi’s beloved devotional song.
