Public Performance

Genre:
  • Japanese Traditional Art ,
  • Kids / Youth

After completing their training with leading performing artists, children will present a public performance. Formal professional performances by instructors will also be featured.

In “Traditional Performing Arts for Kids,” children learn about traditional culture by experiencing the real thing.
About 180 elementary, junior high and high school students enthusiastically undertook the training program in readiness for the final performance, taking thorough preventive measures against coronavirus infection.
At a time when a “new normal” is required, contact with traditional performing arts that have overcome difficulties for hundreds of years has likely taught these children the flexibility and bearing needed for living as human beings right now.


As a preventive measure against the spread of coronavirus, public admission has been canceled. We sincerely apologize to visitors who had been looking forward to this event.
This year the performance will only be open to people involved with the project, principally program participants and their families.
As such, people holding an Admission/Visitor Card should be sure to read in advance the “Request to Visitors” section on the official “Traditional Performing Arts for Kids” website.
In addition, the “Request to Visitors” section may continue to be updated, so we kindly ask for your cooperation in checking it immediately before your visit.
