How Can We Preserve Our Traditional Culture?
　Japan is rich in traditional culture, which has been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years.// Take, for example, Kabuki, Noh, and Bunraku.// According to one survey, less than 30％ of the population has seen these kinds of arts performed on the stage.// The number of people who have seen Noh  is about half as large as those who have seen Kabuki.// If many people have no experience of these traditional performing arts, they might disappear someday.//
　In order to preserve traditional culture, it is important to learn about it.// I believe that if we have enough opportunities to experience traditional culture at school and in the community, our understanding and interest will deepen, and I am sure that people will become more aware of the need to preserve our cultural traditions.//
