Our mission
The history of Japanese festivals is long.
The oldest Mikoshi was made in 1228.
Many festival organizations have problems.
Participants of the festival do not gather.
The operating funds for the festival have run out.
And in some towns its history is over.
Furthermore, due to the influence of COVID-19, most of the festivals were canceled.
We work to spread the beautiful culture of Japan to the world.
We have a duty to pass on culture to the next generation.
