    A field recording workshop was held on March 30, 2019, based on Hachioji's Metropolitan Naganuma Park and the Moon Stage, inviting nature sound artist Joe Okuda. In collaboration with the working group of the Japan Soundscape Association, "Listening to the Sound of Nature," we listened to the sounds of nature while walking through the forest with participants, and received a lecture to actually record. On the lunar stage, I was able to listen to Joe's previous works and hear valuable stories about the techniques and worldview.
