Greetings from the Organizers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I was born and raised in Fushimi, and for over 30 years have been working to connect people, ideas, and crafts through a small contemporary tea room in Fushimi-Momoyama.
Through this work, I\u2019ve had the honor of meeting many incredible performers from a wide range of traditional arts.
Although my activities have usually been on a small scale, I recently encountered a form of traditional performing art rooted in Fushimi that made me feel:
\u201cThis must be shared with a wider audience, especially with the local community!\u201d<\/em>
And just like that, the idea quickly blossomed into a three-year project.
The venue is the Kuretake Culture Center in Tambabashi, right near the station\u2014very convenient to access, and with a hall that seats 600 people.
Each event is scheduled so that visitors can also enjoy a stroll through the local shopping streets afterwards.
We warmly invite you to spend a full day immersed in all things Fushimi!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overview of the Three-Year Program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 2024<\/strong>, the program focused on traditional narrative arts: k\u014ddan<\/strong>, r\u014dkyoku<\/strong>, and rakugo<\/strong>.
In 2025<\/strong>, it will highlight Japanese traditional music<\/strong>, Yamato-gaku<\/strong>, and Japanese classical dance<\/strong>, along with various styles of the Yodogawa Sanjikkoku-bune boat songs<\/strong>, including performances by preservation groups and folk singers. These will be presented together with t\u014dji-uta<\/strong>\u2014work songs traditionally sung during sake brewing in Fushimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2026<\/strong>, the final year will feature Noh and Ky\u014dgen<\/strong>, widely regarded as the pinnacle of Japanese traditional performing arts.
Performers will include distinguished artists invited from Tokyo, such as members of the H\u014dsh\u014d school of Noh<\/strong> and the Nomura Manz\u014d family of the Izumi school of Ky\u014dgen<\/strong>, as well as prominent local performers from Fushimi, including the \u014ce family of the Kanze school of Noh<\/strong> and the Shigeyama family of the \u014ckura school of Ky\u014dgen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educational and Non-Profit Initiative<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This project is conducted as a non-profit cultural and educational initiative<\/strong>.
Its aim is to contribute to lifelong learning for local residents<\/strong> and to help children and their parents rediscover the rich performing arts traditions that have long existed in Fushimi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the official support of the Kyoto City Board of Education<\/strong>, we are able to distribute event flyers to elementary and junior high schools in Fushimi Ward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, by producing DVD recordings<\/strong> of the events, we will make the programs accessible to those who are unable to attend in person. These recordings will be made available for loan to ward offices and schools upon request, creating further opportunities for learning and engagement.
