Hello, this is RIe Asai, Koto Artist.
Today I would like to make an announcement about Asia CollctionⓇ.  I have been thinking about how I will face Asia and Asian art. 
Often I had been invited to foreign countries as a koto performer and there very often I was introduced as not only a Japanese but also an Asian woman.
Since then I have been thinkin what I can do for Asia through art, music and koto. Well, I don't have an answer yet but I think I should start something from in Japan.


Asia CollectionⓇ (Representative : Rie Asai) an Asia Diverst Art Creation organization, will start activities in 2026, showcasting artwork developed over 10 years.
I will do my best for the Asian future.
