We are so proud and delighted to report that as Directors of Foyle Obon, we have been supported to travel to Sado island this August to attend the famous Earth Celebration festival. This is the beginning of a project which will begin with workshops with Kodo on Sado island and will culminate in February 2024 with the visit of Kodo leader, Yuichiro Funabashi, to Derry.

Massive thanks to Foyle Obon, the Daiwa Foundation, The Sasakawa Foundation and the Arts Council of Northern Ireland for supporting us to do this exciting work!
