Submitted by the Event Organizer

Nippon Kobo, a newly established non-profit organization, is excited to announce its inaugural event, Nippon Kobo Vol. 1 ~ Seasons ~. The event aims to serve the San Francisco Bay Area community by offering an engaging and immersive cultural experience. Scheduled for Saturday, September 15th, from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Fort Mason Center for Arts and Culture. 

Nippon Kobo was founded by a small group of passionate, award-winning artists from the San Francisco Bay Area who believe that in-person artistic and cultural collaborations are vital to a healthy community. Nippon Kobo is an event series that brings together diverse artists, creators, entrepreneurs, and the local community through collaborations that combine chamber music with contemporary Japanese culture, including art and food. The organization’s mission is to inspire curiosity and dialogue through innovative art and cultural presentations, thereby fostering a stronger, multicultural society.

The event will feature a variety of engaging components, including a fireside chat and Q&A session with representatives of contemporary Japanese culture, complemented by a Japanese craft beer tasting. The program will culminate with a one-hour chamber music performance by a local Bay Area ensemble. A highlight of the performance will be a live collaboration between award-winning animator Dice Tsutsumi’s artwork and the Nippon Kobo Ensemble.

The event includes:

– three 4oz samples from Coedo Beer 

– fireside chat by artists and makers

– chamber music performance by the Nippon Kobo Ensemble and a

multimedia collaboration with Dice Tsutsumi
