Tango in Japan

Documented tango activity connected with Japan begins in the 1920s, when a figure named Megata was in Paris learning tango, and continues with the founding of Japanese orquestas típicas in 1930 and 1947 [1][2][3]. In the late 1940s and early 1950s, Fujisawa and Hayakawa performed in Japan, and Fujisawa made a first trip to Argentina in August 1953 [3][4].

The sources trace tango's presence in Japan to the 1920s. Between 1920 and 1926, a figure identified as Megata was in Paris learning tango [1].

One source, citing Canuti, dates the first Japanese orquesta típica to 1930 [2]. In 1947, Hayakawa founded the Orquesta Típica Tokyo [3].

Fujisawa and Hayakawa performed for the Argentine navy in Yokohama in June 1948, and Fujisawa debuted with the Orquesta Típica Tokyo at Ciro's in Ginza in 1950 [4]. In August 1953, Fujisawa made a first trip to Argentina [4].

History

Early contact (1920s–1930)

The earliest dated item in the available material concerns Megata, who was in Paris learning tango between 1920 and 1926 [1]. The available material does not describe Megata's later tango activities [1].

A source attributed to Canuti dates the first Japanese orquesta típica to 1930 [2]. The material does not name this orchestra, its leader or its members [2].

Later period (1947–1953)

In 1947, Hayakawa founded the Orquesta Típica Tokyo [3]. In June 1948, Fujisawa and Hayakawa performed for the Argentine navy in Yokohama [4]. In 1950, Fujisawa debuted with the Orquesta Típica Tokyo at Ciro's in Ginza [4]. In August 1953, Fujisawa traveled to Argentina for the first time [4].
