FY28 Creation Grant [Single-year grant program] 1st term
Business Overview
This project was designed to convey the appeal of traditional Japanese music to a wider audience in an easy-to-understand way by performing live performances free of charge, using traditional Japanese instruments such as the koto and shamisen, which are rarely seen or heard. In addition, in preparation for the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games, we would like to contribute to the improvement of the artistic and cultural environment of the city by actively disseminating Japanese culture. In this project, young musicians form a unit of 3~5 and perform 18 40 minute performances over 2 days. The program includes Rokudan no Cho, Japanese children's songs, contemporary Japanese music, Western classical music and pop music, and is designed to be enjoyed by children, the elderly, and foreign tourists.
