・Yukihiro Atsumi Profile 2023 Yukihiro Atsumi is the leader of the Hogaku 2.0 Project, which is an exploration of traditional Japanese music where a Western instrument, the guitar, is added to give a modern update to these storied songs.
The goal is to convey the charms of this traditional music to the world and pass it along to the next generation. Atsumi developed the “Japanese Guitar” style from arranging various musical structures of traditional Japanese music and tasked himself to compose new traditional Japanese music in that same style.
Based in Kyoto, Atsumi, in addition to producing and composing original classical, jazz, and rock music, has worked with a multitude of different musical institutions including geisha from Gion’s Miyagawa-cho, Bunraku-za puppet theaters, Tendai Shomyo Buddhist monks, NHK, as well as various traditional Japanese classical musicians.
Atsumi has also shared the stage with many different folk and popular music performers from all across Japan, including DJ Krush, Toshinori Kondo, and Asazaki Ikue, as well as from all across the world including performances in Thailand, England, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Russia, the U.S., Korea, and, most recently, with the Henchun Folk collective in Taiwan. His self-produced 2021 album Kachofugetsu and the single Kyo: A Song For Kyoto were both #1 in the instrumental category of iTunes and Apple Music in 14 countries around the world.
In 2022, Atsumi produced and performed with Tokyo MinYo Club, an all-star group of Japanese traditional musicians led by Tsugaru-Jamisen player Yutaka Oyama. Additionally, in 2022, Atsumi produced and played on the groundbreaking album “AMAMISM” by Amami Oshima Shima-Uta shamisen player and singer Shingo Maeyama. Currently, Atsumi is planning to release the next installment of Hogaku 2.0 in 2023, via an album entitled “Environmental Japanese Music”.

・What is “Hogaku 2.0”
For more than 1300 years, the path of Japanese traditional music (hogaku) has been rooted in the traditional instruments with which it is performed. Atsumi Yukihiro’s “Hogaku 2.0” project is a modern update to this tradition which, through the guitar, aims to convey its ancient charm to the world and pass it on to future generations.

In contrast to “Hogaku 1.0”, which had been performed only with Japanese instruments, “Hogaku 2.0” is a progressive journey in modern Japanese music where Western instruments, like the guitar, are added to the traditional mix.
