It will be performed by the teacher, Choka Ogata, a Biwa Joruri player. Why don't you take this opportunity to participate in the Otojiro Inari Festival. It is said that the large ginkgo tree that runs through the roof of the shrine is "a power spot where you can get" ki (tree) "when you hold the trunk." Would you like to try this too?
