Harue Momomoya started learning the Shamisen at the age of six and in 1960, formed the Momoyama school of Shamisen. Later, she became interested in classical music and had the good fortune of becoming the only disciple of Miyazono Senju IV, who has been designated as a National Living Treasure. Since 1974, she has been doing research on lullabies, old folk songs and children's songs. She has studied folk music and instruments of the world, especially in Southeast Asia, the Sahara, the Islamic countries and India. In 1980, she composed 'Ryojin-hisho', a collection of Lyrics from the 12th Century. After 1983, she traveled the Silk Road in search of the roots of three-stringed instruments. She also visited the Jomon ruins all over Japan as well as the Japanese cultural heritage. She also studied Ainu music. Has a number of works.
Face to face correspondence, communication is disintegrating.(Harue Momoyama)
There is so much information that it is almost impossible to
find what one really needs.The author Hiroyuki Itsuki says in a conversation with Momoyama,
"Information should not be made up of just cold facts, it has to have emotion,
like sorrow or anger. Today's information is nothing but numbers.
It lacks a sensitive feeling, the heart."Since time immemorial people have gathered to sing together to
communicate with each other. Through talking with and listening to
each other, we reaffirm our places in this world. We have been
handing history down and thus fostering culture.Songs and stories are the seeds that absorb information and
sprout sound communication.Troubadour and contemporary folk tale narrator Harue Momoyama hopes
that more and more people will listen to her songs and tales.Each of her works is original yet based on actual research.
