National Cultural Festival

The National Cultural Festival (国民文化祭 Kokuminbunkasai) (sometimes shortened to Kokubunsai (国文祭)) is Japan’s largest cultural festival which aims to provide the Japanese public with the opportunity to present various cultural activities. There is an emphasis on activities by local performers to motivate individuals to participate in cultural activities, encourage culture, inspire the development of local culture and enrich the lives of the people.[1] These events are hosted by the Agency for Cultural Affairs and the prefectural or municipal government, cultural organizations or other related organizations.[2] Shin Koyamada played the lead character of Makibi featured during the on-stage opening ceremony of Okayama 2010 (The 25th National Cultural Festival Okayama 2010), which was held in Momotaro Arena on October 30, 2010.[3][4]
