#1—What is Kodawari?

Episode • Jun 20, 2020 • 1h 10m

Welcome to the very first episode of Exploring Kodawari!

In this particular episode, we work through the definition of kodawari and our motivation for starting a podcast. The short version is that coronavirus rendered us stuck at home , and as classical musicians, all of our concerts and performances were canceled. It's now three months later and it's still unclear when we will get to perform again. So this left us feeling stuck, unmotivated, and frankly somewhat depressed.

We decided that we needed something to keep us moving forward—something to challenge us to help us stay on the path of growing, both as musicians and as people.

And the concept of kodawari sparked my motivation to start this podcast and blog. Most of our other episodes will be interviews, but we wanted the first one to be just us—a kind of meta episode about why we're here and what we're doing.

Thanks for checking us out, and I hope you enjoy it!
