Ongaku No Tomo Sha Corporation ("音楽之友社" in Japanese, literally means "Company for Music's Pal" or "Company for Music Mate". Often abbreviated as ONT) is a Japanese music publisher headquartered in Tokyo. The company is one of the oldest music publishers in Japan.[1]
History[edit]
ONGAKU NO TOMO SHA (ONT) originates from Ongaku to Bungaku ("音楽と文学", literally means "Music and Literature") which was formed in 1916. It was a musical coterie consisting of the intellect of the age, and virtually the first Japanese institution which printed numerous magazines and books on Western classical music. One of their most historic achievements is a rare interview and record of the great Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev who stopped over and gave concerts in Japan in 1918 on the way to the United States.[2]
In 1941, Keizo Horiuchi, one of the chief members and music critics of the coterie, established a new music publisher ONGAKU NO TOMO SHA Corporation after consolidating his coterie and other music publishers, and became the first president of the company.[3] While ONT officially announces that 1941 is the year of establishment, it is usually considered that they have been substantially active since 1916.[4]
Currently, the ONT's Headquarter Building is located at Kagurazaka, Shinjuku District in the city of Tokyo. [5]
