Who is Yasunao Ishida and why is the ensemble named after him?

He personally formed the Ishida Gumi in 2014 by gathering top-tier musicians he trusts, and the ensemble is named “Ishida Group” (Ishida Gumi) to reflect his leadership and the collective nature of the string orchestra.

Why is it often difficult for foreign visitors to purchase tickets directly from Japanese platforms?

These requirements often prevent international visitors from buying directly, making services that handle these logistics on your behalf necessary.
