Kodo Cultural Foundation "Kodo Juku: Experience Sado" Live-in Workshop
"Kodo Juku" is a live-in workshop series presented by Kodo Cultural Foundation. The upcoming summer Kodo Juku has a special theme that invites participants to "Experience Sado" firsthand. Three Kodo Distinguished Members, Chieko Kojima, Yoko Fujimoto, and Motofumi Yamaguchi, will lead this 4-day/3-night encounter, each giving their own unique workshops to teach participants their choice of taiko, song or bamboo flute. The dynamic trio will also guide the whole group on fun exploration trips around the southern part of Sado Island. We hope you will take this opportunity to experience Sado Island with Kodo.
Update: We have extended the application deadline until June 30 (Thu). We hope you'll apply and come along.
*Workshops and Sado exploration activities will be conducted in Japanese.
