Traditional performing arts abound in valuable ideas and experiences that are a source of inspiration and strength for children going out into the world. We are committed to passing on these arts to the next generation. Over 2,700 children have participated in this hands-on training program in traditional Japanese culture. Once again this year we are offering surprising, exciting experiences in authentic traditional arts.
