Kotobuki Taiko and Hongodai are wadaiko circles formed by seniors in their 60s and 80s. We practice three times a month as a group registered in the "name and master of the town" of the Sakae inhabitant of a ward activity center "Platto Sakae". Every year, we participate in circle presentations and the Kamigo District Center Festival, and announce the results of our daily activities.

The music room of Kamigo district center. When you open the thick soundproof door, fine drums are lined up, and members are preparing in front of it. After briefly explaining the circle, Mayor Hayami also participated in the practice with a drum bee.
The sound of a drum beats by Dr. Yamada with a model shakes the air and echos in each body. Starting with a simple rhythm, the sound of a taiko, which gradually became more complex, felt like the whole room was trembling.
Finally, the members performed "Kannazuki", which was also performed at the Kamigo District Center Festival. I was overwhelmed by the powerful sound of your breath.

"Kotobuki Taiko / Hongodai" said that he would like to increase the number of members again in the future, and received opinions on the placement of recruitment flyers.

10 minutes before the concert. When Director General arrived at "Sampomichi" in the basement of Sakae public hall, the cafe was beginning to be filled with customers who were already looking forward to the concert. When two Sakae Soristi dressed in wonderful costumes (Frut Keiko Owari, Piano Naomi Kinoshita) appear, a big applause will be sent from the crowded audience.
After the ensemble between them, each solo performance followed by each solo performance, and at the end, Christmas songs full of seasonal feelings were played by them, and the customers were drunk with the beautiful harmony that echoed.

We were able to hear opinions unique to those who are engaged in artistic activities, saying, "I want a place to play in facilities in the city." .

The children's tea ceremony classroom held at Kamigo Yazawa Community House is a tea ceremony classroom that has been held for more than 30 years with Professor Kume Somatsu (Professor Urasenke) as a lecturer. Twice a month, lessons are held in the Japanese-style room of Kamigo Yazawa Community House. At the Kamigo District Center Festival, we hold a tea ceremony that also serves as a one-year training presentation.

Children gather one after another from the morning at Kamigo Yazawa Community House, which has a warm atmosphere where you can feel the warmth of trees.
If you look into the Japanese-style room, you will see the children of elementary school students who are preparing for the tea ceremony class on their own. We ask Mr. Kume to talk about the daily classroom and the long history of the tea ceremony classroom, and elementary school students will make tea.

"The students who graduated from the tea ceremony class come back with their children again. This classroom is helping to live." Mr. Kume said.
The children seemed to enjoy the feel of tatami mats, which they rarely touch, and the dignified air of the tea ceremony.
