 Festival\n\n The jew’s harp is a small yet profound instrument\, made of
  metal or bamboo\, that produces its distinctive “byong” sound when 
 played against the mouth. In Ainu culture it is called the mukkuri and h
 as been cherished for centuries.\n\n Since its inception\, the Internation
 al Jew’s Harp Congress & Festival (IJHC/F) has been held nine times in c
 ountries where the instrument has deep cultural roots. Every edition gathe
 rs performers\, makers\, and researchers from across Asia\, Europe\, and b
 eyond. With concerts\, workshops\, outdoor performances\, and a global jew
 ’s harp marketplace\, the festival has become a vital meeting point for 
 cultural exchange and creativity.\n\n Japan has long participated in the I
 JHC/F through the Japan Jew’s Harp Association and the Akan Jew’s Harp
  Association. Their dream of one day hosting the event is now being realiz
 ed with the 10th Congress & Festival in Hokkaido—a unique opportunity to
  celebrate the jew’s harp’s global voice and to showcase the living he
 ritage of Ainu culture.\n\n Participants by Countries and Regions \n\n As
