Ota City Cultural Promotion Association Project – �Ota Japanese Culture Festival Special Videos �Carrying on –National Treasures Preserving Traditions–�� Available Free Online on YouTube

Documentary videos featuring 3 living national treasures residing in Ota City

TOKYO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Ota City Cultural Promotion Association has produced documentary videos shining a spotlight on some living national treasures (holders of important intangible cultural properties).


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.
