ここからだ is
where we stand, connecting heaven and earth,
where you and the world come together—
the meeting point of the vertical and the horizontal.
Through words, heart and body, come to know yourself and live authentically, with a smile that wells up from within.
Honor the unique radiance of yourself and others, and live in resonance with one another.
Put your authentic self and your true wishes into words.
Speak aloud, honoring the resonance of kotodama—the spirit of words at their source.
Honor what you feel and come to know your heart with care and attention.
Sense yourself, others, and what arises in the space between you—the awai.
Listen to your body. Gently release tension, care for it and restore balance, following what brings life joy.
We offer content suited to each situation, for individuals, schools, companies, eldercare facilities and groups.
Feel, express yourself in words, move and connect with others. Through lived experience, your own feelings and senses begin to awaken.
Through workshops and participatory creative performances, we create spaces where diverse people gather, bring out one another’s gifts and shine together.
Programs & Experiences
When each person’s ここからだ meets another,
a once-in-a-lifetime ここからだ is born.
The four programs can be freely combined to suit your wishes and goals.
Let us create the ここからだ that is right for you, together.
01A participatory creative performance set in Japan’s oldest tale, “The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter”, where we create together and let one another shine through movement and music.
Created for groups of 5 to 1,000, each performance takes a form suited to its people and setting. Following twelve performances in Japan, this unique, unrepeatable creation now brings the beauty of Japan to the world.

Woman in her 40s / Smile Wellness Workshop
I laughed so much, and by the end my mind and body felt truly lighter. I felt my breathing deepen and was surprised by how much brighter everything looked. Even though physical activity is not my strong point, I feel I could keep doing this naturally. I think I’ll sleep well tonight!
Woman in her 30s / Online + in-person workshops
She began with the feeling, “I want to make dance my path in life, but I lack confidence and am afraid of connecting with people.” Through dialogue and practices, she came to see herself anew, found joy in connecting with others, and became able to join new groups and environments. She has since begun presenting her work and teaching in the world of dance, expanding the scope of her activities.
Tourism-related company / Staff training
Amid frequent desk work and tension, we took time to move our bodies and use our voices together with colleagues. It was enjoyable to connect with one another in fresh ways through the activities. By the end, smiles we had never seen before had emerged, and the atmosphere throughout the workplace felt much brighter. We could feel the tension in our minds and bodies ease.
