Business Overview
Lincoln Center Festival, New York's largest summer performing arts festival, has invited us to participate in its 2016 festival. He has been working hard to promote the traditional performing art of Nohgaku both in Japan and overseas, and with the 2020 Tokyo Olympic and Paralympic Games coming up, he thought it would be a great opportunity to disseminate Japanese culture to the world, so he readily agreed to perform.
