Support will be provided for projects that allow participants to participate in various traditional arts events more easily than once, even for first-timers, and to experience the same event multiple times. The purpose of this program is to promote traditional performing arts by providing opportunities for people to experience the fun of traditional performing arts, and by helping them take root in their daily lives and increasing the number of people who regularly attend lessons.

target business
This project is sponsored by an organization (Theatres, music halls, arts organizations, NPOs, executive committees, etc.) whose head office and headquarters are located in Tokyo, and supports efforts to promote traditional performing arts by increasing the number of people who participate in hands-on experience. The program is intended to be an entry point (a trigger) to daily practice that is easy to enter even for first-timers, allows one participant to experience the practical skills of the same event multiple times, and encourages participants to continue the practical experience.
Projects that meet all of the following requirements
(1) Projects that focus on actual practical experience, such as playing musical instruments, dancing and acting, and practicing flower arrangement, tea ceremony, and calligraphy
(2) Projects that are not one-off experiences, but have a mechanism that allows one participant to experience the same event multiple times over a certain period of time. Those who have not experienced the traditional performing arts in the field can participate.
(3) Participants should be invited to the general public.
