Matsuo Keiko
松尾恵子
Koto - Shamisen
|
Born in Tokyo on September 18, 1916. Matsuo Keiko studied under Michio Miyagi from the age of six, and entered the Elective Department of the Tokyo School of Music in March 1929, completing the same course in 1933 as the first graduate. She was under the tutelage of Michio Miyagi for many years, and gave numerous performances and recordings together with her sister, Kazuko. The day after Michio Miyagi came to Tokyo from Korea in 1917, he accompanied shakuhachi player Yoshida Seifū to perform "Water Metamorphosis" at the home of Matsuo Keiko's father, Ueno Hideyoshi,in Tsurumaki-cho, Waseda. Keiko's father, who was a student of Yoshida Seifū, was so shocked by the performance that he immediately invited his aunt and other relatives to become his students, and later went to Miyagi Michio to have him play the piece with Ueno playing shakuhachi. Keiko, who was eight months old at the time, waited until after her sixth birthday, and then, on June 6, which was considered a fortuitous day to do so, enrolled at Miyagi's school. Her younger sister Kazuko also entered the school on June 6, also at the age of six, six years later.
