The Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun Student Music Competition, established with the aim of developing and promoting classical music culture, has a long history and has produced numerous musicians and performers from among its alumni, as well as nurturing promising individuals who are active on the front lines of society. We look forward to many young talents challenging themselves again this year.

The 2026 Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun Tanka Competition is now accepting participants for the day of the event. Submissions are now closed. We are pleased to announce that the 2026 Kumamoto Nichinichi Shimbun Tanka Competition will be held with Mr. Takehito Kuroiwa (President of the Japan Tanka Poets Club, Chief Editor and Selection Committee Member of "Kokoro no Hana"). The event will include a commemorative lecture, recitation, and critiques. We look forward to your participation.

This exhibition explores the theme of "torture" from multiple perspectives, including its history, tools, and forms of expression. Through exhibits, explanations, demonstrations, and hands-on experiences, you will learn about the world of torture—a world you rarely encounter in everyday life—by seeing, knowing, and touching it. It's not just scary; it's an extraordinary experience that stimulates curiosity.
