The Emperor attended Viola Space 2023 Vol. 31, a music festival for primarily viola players as well as other classical musicians, at a concert hall in Chiyoda Ward, Tokyo, on Monday.
The Emperor, who plays the viola as a hobby, has been to the festival almost every year since his Crown Prince days. The concert on Monday featured many performers, including premier violist Nobuko Imai, 80. The Emperor applauded the performances from a balcony seat.
