Jazz singer, Jyunko Ochi(vo), Kiyoshi Takeshita(p) and Jitsuko Sanou(cello) established a unit "Trishikuro" and this unit will give a concert on May 5. If you don't have any plan for holiday, this is an usuful information to visit. I had a interview with Mr. Okuno, the owner of the concert hall " Sakurano Syobei".
The estate is a treasure given from ancestor in Edo era, however, it is difficult to maintain it as it was. There are so huge area that much space are left except residence area. It was divided to public and private space according to an architect's advice. They made a plan by many ideas to utilize public space.
It was completed in May 1998. Calligraphy exhibition was held in July as a first event and presented to neighbors.
Their dream in the future is to make a concert for "Babies and Mothers" and "Junior high and high school students". If people who live in an old and huge house agree with their policy, they will support the activity to expand the network.
It is worth only to see Mr. Okuno or his estate, and what's more, you will get something valuable if you attend the event. Some tickets are still available for the concert on May 5( open at 16:30).
