Ready for a once-in-a-lifetime experience on Sado Island?

The theme of Kodo Juku is passion. Most of the current Kodo members spent their first two years on Sado Island training at Kodo Apprentice Centre in Kakinoura. It’s a commitment that takes a lot of drive and dedication.

This live-in workshop is a four-day escape from your everyday life where you’ll experience the daily life of a Kodo apprentice and play taiko to your heart’s content with facilitator Eiichi Saito. No taiko experience is required.

You’ll also get to know the Kodo’s next-generation hopefuls: the second-year apprentices, who will act as staff at the event. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience limited to first-time participants only, so new encounters and friends await one and all. We hope you’ll come along for this summer retreat!

*Note: Workshop will be conducted in Japanese.

鼓童文化財団では「太鼓の力を社会に活かす」取組を展開しています。

その取組の一つとして太鼓が組織の活性化やチームビルディングなど、企業の幹部研修にどう効用があるのか、今までの実績をご紹介するとともに、研修内容をぐっと圧縮したセミナー＆ミニワークショップを企画しました。

その可能性についてどうぞ五感でご体感ください。

※今回、太鼓をたたくワークショップはございません。予めご了承のほどお願いいたします。
