Ambitious Japanese musicians from the Bu-Shi-Do enchanted a packed hall in the National Opera on Thursday with their mix of traditional and modern sounds and exotic instruments.

Loosely translated as the "way of the warrior," Bushido is a Japanese code of conduct and a way of life, and the young artists have taken upon themselves to promote their country's rich culture under that name.

The event, held under the patronage of the Japanese Ambassador to Bulgaria Koichiro Fukui, the event brought many Bulgarians closer to the interesting culture of the Asian country through the performance of the progressive band.

Despite their involvement with the ancient traditions, the men from Bu-Shi-Do are hardly conservative. They not only offer a modern interpretation of the old music, but also model for fashion magazines and often compose music for animation and video games.

The event was part of the Days of the Japanese Culture, which will continue in Sofia with the premiere of the first Bulgarian-Japanese opera premiere on November 9.
