Iwahory, director of "Tadao Sawai Koto School" of Tokyo. Teachers from Japan
every year come to Moscow on their own means. 26 Sept 1996 is considered as
ensemble birthday because this day the first big concert in Moscow
conservatory went off. In 1998 Yumi Iwahory, daughter of Keiko Iwahory gave
to ensemble the name "Wa-On" that can translate as "harmonical sound" or if
translate literally each character - "essence of Japan in sound". Ensemble
professors Keiko Iwahory (koto, shamisen, traditional vocal) and Kohei
Shimizu (shakuhachi) come annually in Moscow to teach on base of Japanese
traditional system. Everybody can take classes free in the school at the
ensemble.
