The Tonkori is a traditional stringed instrument of the Ainu ( the indigenous people of Hokkaido ) with a deep and soft timbre. You can feel the culture of Hokkaido and the Ainu through the experience, listening to the musical performance of the Tonkori, and playing the Tonkori.
Beautiful Tonkori by “tonkori kobo inonno” are available. These are artistic creations by Mr.Ninomiya who is a Tonkori artist. We always invite Mr.Ninomiya for the experience program and he plays the Tonkori himself. It is a precious opportunity that we can meet a Tonkori artist.
After the experience, you can rent the Tonkori for your guest room, if you’d like to play more. Spend a peaceful night at MAOIQ feeling the Tonkori sound which resonates with your heart.
