“Our ‘Living, Learning, Creating’ Exhibition at EC” by Yosuke Kusa
Earth Celebration 2017 begins this weekend!
One of the events at EC 2017 this year is Kodo’s free-admission “Living, Learning, Creating” exhibition at Tennanso in Ogi’s main shopping street. Kodo performers and staff will share a range of things they made by hand, including stage props, instruments, and furniture, alongside photos they took while they were on tour with Kodo.
Today, I would like to share a sneak peek of some of the items that will be on display.
▼ Kenta Nakagome’s taiko bachi (drumsticks)
▼ Eiichi Saito’s suri-zasara, a percussion instrument made from bamboo that is played by rubbing a whisk-like beater along a long notched rod.
▼ Tomoe Miura’s coverall apron

Yoshikazu Fujimoto, Tomohiro Mitome, and Yuichiro Funabashi will also have their handcrafted drumsticks on display. You will also see sashiko embroidery by Kiyoko Oi, an okedo-daiko made by Maya Minowa…and much more! We look forward to showing you a different side to Kodo than what you see on stage. Please come along!
▼ The exhibition will be held at Tennanso, which is marked “23” on this Ogi map.
