About Oregon Koto-Kai
Oregon Koto-Kai is a performing ensemble founded by koto master Mitsuki Dazai. Mitsuki moved to Oregon in 2002, and in 2007, she performed with one of her students at the Asian Celebration in Eugene. This experience prompted her to develop a koto ensemble. In 2012, the group held its first concert at the Epworth United Methodist Church. Since that time, the ensemble has performed throughout Oregon and usually presents three annual concerts.
