This fall, two artists who are connected on a healing wavelength: Mayphy & Etsuko Muraki's fifth concert at MANDARACHA.

MANDARACHA presents: ~Déjà Vu d'Automne~

In the ancient capital of Kyoto, bathed in autumn colors and the chirping of insects, let's open our ears and hearts to the gratitude of the natural change of seasons. Like sipping tea, we will slowly be transported to a dream we once had.

Saturday, November 15th,
17:00 PM - 18:00 PM [Autumn Déjà Vu]
Reservations required
Entry: from 16:45
Fee: 4000yen

This concert begins with a moment to feel the clear tone and long lingering resonance of the orin, a soothing sound that shifts from a steady, straight tone to a vibrating sound.
Next, singer-songwriter Mayphy will perform a healing-themed piece, weaving piano and vocals.
The two will then perform a harmonious collaboration, featuring "Rebirth," a piece Mayphy composed in response to the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. There will also be an improvised vocal storytelling session themed around nature and "Autumn Déjà Vu," accompanied by Orin's exquisite harmonies.
Enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime concert, complete with the Japanese atmosphere of MANDARACHA and a gentle vegan dessert and tea.

Mayphy's profile: singer-song writer
She began playing piano at the age of four and has been a dance instructor since she was 19. After organizing musicals, she moved to the UK in 2006 and spent four years studying and working in music in London. While studying abroad in London, she discovered traditional Indian music and incorporated sitar, tanpura, tabla, and vocal raga into her live performances.
After moving to France in 2010, she performed with the world music band "Phildissime," producing and releasing mini-albums including "Rebirth," which explores the theme of all living things through instruments such as singing bowls, Kaval flute, oud, and cello.
After returning to Japan in 2012, she became a music instructor in Kyoto. Her albums include "Rebirth," "Mind Map," "4 Elements," and "Departure," and on June 21st of this year, she released "La vie en chansons." In 2025, she will focus on this new album and perform live performances that bring healing and energy through musical expression in French, Japanese, and English.

Etsuko Muraki's profile:
Leveraging her experience as a therapist, she began working as a "sound therapist" as a player of the Kyoto Sabari Orin ensemble in 2020. The orin, characterized by its clear tone and long-lasting resonance, soothes the listener's mind and induces deep relaxation. Through performances in spaces that evoke nature and tradition, such as Japanese gardens, tea rooms, and hotel events, we offer a "Sound Bath" experience where you can fully experience the resonance of the music. During performances, your senses are sharpened, your concentration heightened, and your emotions enriched. We have also shared the appeal of orin as a part of Kyoto's traditional culture, earning positive reviews from overseas.

[About Sahari Orin]
We use orin made by Nanjo Kobo in Uji, Kyoto, which specializes in producing orin, bayashi gongs, and other musical instruments for Shinto and Buddhist altars, drawing on the advanced techniques and knowledge cultivated over a history spanning more than 200 years. "Sahari" is a copper and tin alloy that was once used in the Shosoin treasures. Nanjo Kobo utilizes the unique blending ratio and traditional techniques passed down through generations to create unique tones.
