What we do

Tokyo Traditional Arts Program

This project is designed to disseminate the appeal of traditional performing arts and culture to Japan and the rest of the world. In traditional arts performances we will feature genres ranging from Noh to traditional Japanese music and Nihon buyo to vaudeville-style and folk entertainment, seek to expand the audience for these arts, and present authentic performances by leading artists. There will be performances with “living national treasures” and the new generation of successors, and we will also carry out programs which are chosen from among the public, as in last year’s project.
