voc, 1902-1956 JP, Kobe
Musician / Composer of World, Classical and Folk
A.k.a. 宮城道雄
Michio Miyagi (April 7, 1894, Kobe, Japan - June 25, 1956, Osaka) was a Japanese composer and a koto performer. Miyagi revolutionized koto music with new playing and compostional techniques, and is now considered as the father of modern koto music. Miyagi composed more than 350 works, the majority of them for the koto, including compositions for children, large-scale works including koto concerti with Western orchestras. Miyagi invented the jushichigen [17 string bass koto], an 80-string koto, the dai-kokyu [large bowed spiked fiddle] and tan-goto [short koto].
