Jikken Kobo (Experimental Workshop) was founded in Tokyo in 1951 by Joji Yuasa, Toru Takemitsu, and other composers and artists to explore new musical and artistic trends, including multimedia. The group formed outside of an institutional context, but in 1953, they began to work in the Sony studios, which gave them access to equipment.
As Yuasa commented later, "It was an experimental time in Tokyo -- there was a lively atmosphere ..."
