Support for Culture and the Arts

The Kirishima International Music Festival

Since 2001, Kyocera has supported the Kirishima International Music Festival (Kirishima city, Kagoshima Prefecture, Japan), which started in 1980, to provide students an opportunity to learn from outstanding musicians by experiencing performances firsthand. Over 60 concerts and workshops are held every year, featuring musicians worldwide as invited performers and lecturers. The number of participants from outside Japan (primarily Asia) is increasing every year, and the Kirishima International Music Festival now enjoys growing popularity as one of Asia's major music festivals.

The Kyocera Gallery

The Kyocera Gallery, which is open to the public and free of charge, was established at 1998 at Kyocera's headquarters building (Kyoto, Japan). Many works of art are on permanent display, including Picasso's copper plate print series 347, paintings, sculptures, and Qianlong glass from China.
