Event features
The aim is for both adults and children to enjoy firsthand experience of playing traditional Japanese musical instruments, challenge themselves to simple performance with them, and experience for themselves the breadth and pleasure they bring.
To make it easier for beginners to take part, the musical program has been made as simple as possible yet designed so that participants can grasp the basics, with easy-to-understand text. With the assistance of professionals, the final presentation will enable participants to get firsthand experience of full-fledged live performance.

Publicity methods for the recruitment of participants (collaboration, cooperation, networking, etc.)
In partnership with Ota City Cultural Promotion Association, we will put up and distribute flyers to recruit participants at cultural facilities and cultural events in Ota City. We will also ask culture-related organizations for their cooperation in publicizing the event.

Ways to enable participants to continue with practical skills experience (other than programs covered by this grant) after the end of the event
For those who wish to continue with classes after the final presentation, we can introduce venues (in Omori, Asakusa, Ningyocho, Hachioji, Urayasu, etc.) that meet participants’ different requirements.
