Experience the power of Japanese drumming, demonstrated by the drumming clubs of Fukuoka Daiichi High School and Daiichi Pharmaceutical University High School. Then, at 3:00 PM, contemporary calligraphy artist Kenro will take the stage. A native of Fukuoka, Kenro has been active mainly in Kyushu, dedicating his ink paintings of dragons and characters inspired by local places. Having performed at G7 and G20 events and won a special jury prize in Paris in 2018, Kenro is now focusing on dedicating his works to national treasures and world heritage sites. Expectations are high for what he will present in this performance.

Following this at 3:00 PM, Colorhythm Risa will take the stage. As an art performer who dances and paints to music, she transforms her paintings into stories in a short time. A winner at New York-originated live painting contest “Art Battle” and performance events, she has also appeared at domestic and international events and popular TV shows.
