Since FY Reiwa 4, Arts Council Tokyo has held activity report meetings for organizations that have implemented projects with the support of "Social Grant". In FY Reiwa 6, with the long-term support of this grant program, we will publish online a video of the activity report by an organization that has completed its three-year subsidy target activities.
In this article, we will introduce the practices of Ichinokai, a general incorporated association that develops its own activities with a variety of ingenuity so that even the visually impaired can enjoy Noh. We hope that those interested in the report will be able to learn more about the challenges we faced in the course of implementing the project and how we responded to them.
