“Enjoy! As part of "Yorimichi", there will be a concert by Irish harpist Seiko Takayama and cellist Akiko Yamazaki, and a swag workshop using dried flowers collected from the English garden.
(1) Irish harp & cello mini concert
10:00~, 11:30~, 13:30~ (20 minutes each)
The Irish harp & cello concert will deliver songs that can be enjoyed by children and adults alike, such as "Umi no Mieru Machi" and "Amazing Grace" from "Kiki's Delivery Service" and "Wind Path" from "My Neighbor Totoro". The Irish harp is a harp that has been played and spread from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, and Brittany, and is characterized by its warm tone. Compared to the 47-string grand harp used in classical music, it is smaller and consists of roughly 34 strings. There is also a small harp trial session, so please join us.

About 10 people each time 10:30~, 12:30~ (1 hour each)
