We provides children who have few opportunities to experience traditional Japanese music and instruments in their daily lives with the opportunity to listen to, see, touch, learn and play the history and tone of the koto.
At the performance on Sunday, April 30 at Nihonbashi Kaikan Hall, participants will have chance to experience to play with professional performers. In addition to the joy of being able to play a piece of a Japanese instrument, this project allows students to naturally learn how to respect traditional Japanese culture and manners.
