Documentaire video’s met 3 levende nationale schatten in Ota City
TOKIO– (BUSINESS WIRE) – Ota City Cultural Promotion Association heeft documentairevideo’s geproduceerd die een aantal levende nationale schatten (houders van belangrijke immateriële culturele eigendommen) in de schijnwerpers zetten.
Dit komt omdat “Ota’s traditionele Japanse Cultuurfestival” helaas werd geannuleerd in zowel 2020 als 2021 om de verspreiding van COVID-19 te voorkomen. Dit festival, dat elk jaar in samenwerking met Japanse culturele organisaties in Ota City werd gehouden, was een ervaringsproject om in aanraking te komen met de traditionele Japanse cultuur. We hebben deze video’s gemaakt als een speciaal project om de lang ontwikkelde kansen om de traditionele Japanse cultuur te ervaren, niet te verliezen.
We hopen dat mensen in Japan en daarbuiten de schoonheid van de traditionele Japanse cultuur en de dagelijkse inspanningen en gevoelens die eraan ten grondslag liggen, kunnen leren, met dit project als uitgangspunt om interesse in de Japanse cultuur te wekken.

Titles Calligraphy by KANAZAWA Shoko (Graphic: Business Wire)
This is because “Ota’s traditional Japanese Culture Festival” was unfortunately canceled in both 2020 and 2021 to prevent the spread of COVID-19. This festival, which had been held every year in collaboration with Japanese cultural organizations in Ota City, was an experience-based project for coming into contact with traditional Japanese culture. We produced these videos as a special project so as not to lose the long-developed opportunities to experience traditional Japanese culture.
We hope that people in Japan and overseas can learn the beauty of traditional Japanese culture and the daily efforts and feelings underlying it, with this project as a starting point for raising interest in Japanese culture.
