The sound we remember, the Japan we don't forget" Culture, technology, rice... Who should take care of the culture, technology, and rice?

Nonprofit organization "Raku-Ki-Haruhi" (located in Osaka City, Osaka Prefecture, CEO: Hitomi Kawamura) has started a project on the crowdfunding site "CAMPFIRE" for the implementation of a Japanese cultural experience event "Oto Oto, Ogetsu Nihon - Oto Knot omusubi".

Background of Development

When I started to visit shrines to reconsider the role of Japanese musical instruments as sacred objects, which is their origin, I noticed that not only foreign people but also Japanese people were confused because they did not know how to perform the "two-beat-one-beat-one-rei" gesture or how to perform the rituals at a hand-watering ceremony, and I saw a notice that was designed to provide inbound visitors with an unbiased cultural experience.

Culture is no longer "Japanese" - such a sense of discomfort overlapped with the reality that Japanese people cannot afford to buy new rice from their own country due to the rising price of domestically produced rice. Both the culture and the technology of rice, "Who is taking care of it?" This is the question that inspired us to launch this project.

Features

Memorable sound" and "Unforgettable Japan"-Designing an experience that will remain in your memory

→The theme of this project was to preserve the "memory of sound," inspired by the memory of the late representative's grandfather, who said that the "sound" of a fireworks display still lingered in his ears. The theme of the event is to preserve the "memory of sound." We aim to create an experience that will not end with just listening, but will be etched in your mind.

*Concert + audience participation - a "personal" experience

→After watching the taiko performance, visitors can actually try their hand at playing the instruments on stage. This is not just a "cultural experience" to watch, but a participatory experience that allows you to "sound the taiko" as well.

Experience taiko on stage - it's as if you are a performer, too!

→The experience is not in the audience's seats, but on the stage. By beating the taiko while feeling the tension and vibrations of the sound with your whole body, we provide an "exciting memory" that will install "wadaiko is amazing" in the back of your mind. We hope that children will be able to see with their eyes, feel with their bodies, and experience the unforgettable Japanese sound in their hearts.

*Transmitting "culture in daily life" to create a stir against inbound overemphasis.

→The intention is not to deny inbound travel, but rather to say, "If you want to expand your business, you must first let people know about it, otherwise it won't be share-happy, right? The purpose of this project is to create an opportunity for people to "feel their own culture" rather than to experience it for the sake of tourism.
