Otawa Festival Special Video "Tsunagu"

Otawa Festival Special Video "Tsunagu-Treasures Inheriting Tradition-"

To prevent the spread of new coronavirus infection, the project was canceled in both 2020 and 2021.However, I do not want to lose the opportunity to come into contact with traditional Japanese culture, so as a special project of the "Otawa Festival", I focused on three living national treasures (living national treasures (holders of important intangible cultural properties)) living in Ota Ward. , I made a documentary video that captures precious figures such as "feelings" facing traditional culture, unknown "efforts", and "traditional power" that has been passed down for many years.

We will produce not only the Japanese version but also the English version for overseas to disseminate the traditional culture of Japan.
Please have a look.
