We will subsidize projects that allow participants to experience various traditional performing arts multiple times by themselves, making it easy for even first-timers to enter. 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 subsidy covers part of the project costs for projects sponsored by organizations with headquarters or head offices in Tokyo (Theaters, music halls, arts organizations, NPOs, executive committees, etc.).
This subsidy program supports efforts to increase the number of people who experience traditional performing arts by themselves in order to promote them.
The program is intended to provide participants with the opportunity to experience the practical skills of the same event more than once, and to encourage participants to continue experiencing the practical skills.
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.
