LESS IS MORE is a string quartet which is composed of graduates of Tokyo University of the Arts.
The quartet was formed to disseminate Japanese people’s aesthetics and the charm of the Kumano district, a World Heritage Site, to all around the world, inspired by the phrase of an architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, ‘the less, the richer.’
Their unique and original music, which blends classical music and jazz, has attracted a great deal of attention both domestically and internationally.
