Society and Arts Networking Project in Ohmi ”SANPOh”
When cultural and artistic activities meet and connect with various fields of the local community, such as welfare, education and international exchange, a variety of values and richness are created.” SANPOh” is a project to increase the number of such meeting places throughout Shiga Prefecture.
