We will be streaming many of our programs live online, like the red carpet at Todai-ji (World Heritage site), the opening ceremony at Kasugano-enchi in Nara Park, and talk sessions with guests. Everyone will be able to watch and listen.

NARA’ ndez-vous

World Heritage site Kohfukuji Temple’s Chukondo, reconstructed for the 8th time in 2018. It is because we are in the middle of this COVID-19 pandemic that Naomi Kawase will host a secret guest, and together send a message out to the whole world, all from this front garden that has been reconstructed after every disaster since it was built in 710 AD. Titled NARA’ndez-vous, you’re welcome to join this nighttime date in Nara!
