Reiwa 5 (2023) 1st Startup Grant
Business Overview
It is a round-trip performance based on koto. By going back and forth between making musical instruments and listening to performances, visitors experienced traditional musical instruments from making to performing, and took a step further to savor Japanese music. This was the first time that the performers and craftsmen, who usually work through the shop, had tried to make this together, and the talks between the performers after the performance were a lively exchange of opinions. < Program > Performances: Cha Ondo/Kikuoka Kengyo, Izumi/Michio Miyagi, Like a bird/Tadao Sawai, Hanamusubu/Chizu no Ei-ryu Soh production work open and production experience talks by performers < Performers > Seiji Kunii (Soh craftsman), Nanako Fujishige (Soh music player), Okunogaku (Soh music player), Hiromichi Tsugami (Shakuhachi bamboo flute player) Soh assistance: Manho Kakihara (Soh music player), Planning and production: Yura Tojima, Moe Wakayama Guidance: Tenshin Terauchi, Ho Terayama, Norisato Yamamoto, Photography: Yuka Kubota, Video photography: Nanami Maeda, Advertising art: Yukako Manabe Organizer: Cogmart Co-organizer: Hiyoko Arts

Profile
[Cogmart]
Cogmart is an art management team composed of student members belonging to the general incorporated association Yanaka no Okato. Aiming to function as a starting point for each member to try new expressions, we have been planning to cut out the "daily lives of young artists" by focusing on the attractiveness of the daily practice, production activities, and thinking behind the presentation of works, using the former Taira Kushida Chusei, an old folk house, as the stage.
