Blending traditional and modern sounds of the Japanese koto, we inspire players and our community with musical performance and cultural collaboration throughout the Pacific Northwest.

Oregon Koto-Kai was founded by koto master Mitsuki Dazai, who moved to Oregon in 2002. She immediately began playing her music at coffee shops, bookstores, Japanese restaurants and at local events. At the time, her humble tip box was the only monetary reward, but the real reward was the response of those who heard her music. She was soon busy performing at diverse events and giving lessons both in the Eugene and Portland areas.
