A festival called "Kidai Matsuri" will be held in Tokyo's Nihonbashi to commemorate the opening of Fukutoku Garden. This new autumn festival focuses on both vertical and horizontal connections between people: the vertical passing down of skills and arts from one generation to the next, and open exchange between locals, companies and groups within the community. Kodo will perform on the Kidai Stage at this year's inaugural festival on Oct. 9. We hope to see you there!
