Harmonic Day is a day to align frequencies with the aim of realizing a society in which the Earth, humans, animals, and all life forms are in harmony.
The Singing Ring Association, a general incorporated association, will hold an event every year with the theme of "Barrier-free Mind and Body," providing a "moment of resonance" where people can pray while surrounded by overtones.
This time, we will be hosting a talk event with special guest Professor Satoshi Fukushima , who overcame the double handicap of being blind and deaf to become the world's first totally blind and deaf university professor .
At the venue, you can enjoy a mini experience of the acoustic musical instrument Singing Ring.

Messages from the three speakers.
From Professor Satoshi Fukushima
There are approximately 10,000 people across the country who are completely blind and deaf.
In order for these people to connect with the outside world, they need special information terminals that allow them to read information by touch.
However, since it is not possible to explain how to use the device over the phone, a blind staff member from my lab visits each person individually to explain how to use the device while they are actually using it.
In addition, there are many deaf-blind people with various needs, and our staff travel to Kyushu, Tohoku, and other areas to provide daily support.
We hope that everyone will become aware of our activities and support us.
From Sion Kazu
I will never forget the excitement I felt when I listened to Professor Fukushima's lecture in 2007.
I have great respect for this professor, who developed finger braille with his mother despite being blind and deaf, and who promotes barrier-free access as a university professor, and I would like to support his efforts.
Let's join together to create a harmonious, barrier-free world where we can unite and transcend all barriers, such as mental and physical disabilities, age, gender, race, ethnicity, and religion.
