The Sisters need your support!

The Ryan Sisters perform in the genre of traditional Japanese music. Very few people, including Japanese, are familiar with this genre and the dedication and financial support it takes to keep doing it. Unfortunately, there is little support (such as private or public grants) for individual musicians in Japan. In Japan, grants are given to groups rather than individuals.

Traditional Asian arts and music are indeed supported in the US by grants, but you are required to be Asian. So, the sisters have very little support to promote Japanese traditional music. They need your help!

To our readers, is there anyone out there who would like to help sponsor or make a small donation (via Paypal) to The Ryan Sisters to help promote traditional Japanese music via the tsugaru shamisen? Thank you!
