Chui-Chui: 牧美花 — profile

Born in Nagano City, Nagano Prefecture, in 1972. Born unable to move her left hand, she met the late 鈴木鎮一 (violinist, founder of the Suzuki Method and music educator) at 2 years and 8 months. She overcame this difficulty by playing in the reverse of the usual position, holding the violin in her right hand.
From the age of 5 she performed in more than 10 countries, and taught in the United States for 1 year. At 26, she experienced outdoor tent theatre with an amateur company in Matsumoto. Playing a young street performer and performing within the play gave her a new sense of unity with the space, prompting her to explore a new direction for violin performance. Under the name Chui-Chui, she began giving small-scale performances throughout Japan and abroad.
In 2000, she released the album “あなたはすでに眩いばかりに美しい” (“You are already dazzlingly beautiful”) for the Tokyo cosmetics company 江原道’s “cosmetics to listen to” project.

About the performing name Chui-Chui
She likes playing violin in nature while talking with birds, and chose the name from the “chui-chui” sound with which she always calls to them. It expresses a wish to make sounds that resonate in the heart, gentle and at times strong, in harmony with nature and the universe like birdsong.
