Mitsune fuses Japanese folk music with psychedelic, cinematic, and ritualistic sounds into original compositions that breathe new life into ancient tales. The heart and soul of Mitsune is the Tsugaru-shamisen, a traditional three-stringed lute. Featuring members from Japan, Australia, and Greece, the quartet presents modern folklore packed with driving rhythms, raw emotion, and extravagant costume design. Their live shows are energetic, decadent, humorous, and wonderfully flamboyant.
