The IMJS: Japanese Cultural Heritage Initiatives at Columbia University celebrates the cultures of Heian and Heisei Eras with a concert presenting music Lady Murasaki describes in her 11th-century novel, The Tale of Genji, in collaboration with the current exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Tale of Genji: A Japanese Classic Illustrated, and the now-ending Heisei Era with the sung waka poetry by the retiring Emperor and Empress from their January 2019 last New Year Poetry Celebration.

Featuring renowned musicians from Japan and New York, including Mayumi Miyata (shō), Hitomi Nakamura (hichiriki), Takeshi Sasamoto (ryūteki), Yoko Reikano Kimura (koto & voice), James Nyoraku Schlefer (shakuhachi), Hikaru Tamaki (cello), and the Columbia Gagaku Instrumental Ensemble of New York.
