Nippon Kobo Vol.2 ~ Ma (間): The Space Between All Things ~
From Grammy Award-winning Silkroad Ensemble associate artistic director Haruka Fujii and Academy Award-nominated animator Dice Tsutsumi comes Nippon Kobo, an immersive cultural experience of contemporary Japanese music and culture. Join us at our second season opening event: an evening of chamber music and calligraphy with a program centered around the theme of Ma, the Japanese aesthetic of space between all things.
After a successful inaugural year 2024-2025 full of creativity, conversation, and smiles over three sold-out events, Nippon Kobo is excited to announce Nippon Kobo Vol.2: Ma ~ Space between all things ~, the flagship event opening Nippon Kobo’s second performing arts season on November 2nd, 2025. This event will showcase a chamber music program by Japanese composers, real-time calligraphy performance by Aoi Yamaguchi, and a special talk by Myriam Sas – (Professor of Comparative Literature and Film & Media at the University of California, Berkeley). The program also spotlights the world premiere performance of a new work by Hiroya Miura for chamber ensemble and calligrapher. Along with leading Japanese artists, local musicians, creators, and entrepreneurs, we look forward to sharing the Japanese aesthetic of Ma.
Nippon Kobo was founded by a small group of passionate, award-winning artists from the San Francisco Bay Area who believe that in-person artistic and cultural collaborations are vital to a healthy community. Nippon Kobo is an event series that brings together diverse artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and the local community through collaborations that combine chamber music with contemporary Japanese culture, including art and food. The organization’s mission is to build a new community where people meet, learn, and experience cross-cultural dialogue through curated music concerts paired with contemporary Japanese art and culture.
