Event features
We provide the instruments and accessories so that even first-timers can participate with ease. We will supply original texts so that you can enjoy learning 2-5-minute aikata accompaniments in 4 lessons, whether you have experience or not. Lessons are also designed to help participants naturally acquire the related etiquette.

Publicity methods for the recruitment of participants (collaboration, cooperation, networking, etc.)
With the support of Shinjuku-ku , flyers will be placed on shelves at 60 facilities in the area. You can easily apply using the QR code on the application form. Participants will also be recruited via the General Incorporated Association Nagauta Touon-kai website and social media channels.

Ways to enable participants to continue with practical skills experience (other than programs covered by this grant) after the end of the event
We can introduce those who want to continue learning the shamisen after the workshop to instructors, instrument stores, etc. depending on individual needs and conditions, such as one-on-one lessons or practice at cultural centers.
