From the recorded profile

This is a translation of the source description. Dates, affiliations and plans refer to the source’s publication context, not a guarantee of current activity.

Nokobo was born from the wish to help people learn about the appeal of bamboo shoots, a specialty of the Kyoto Nishiyama area, and the attractions of Nagaokakyo City, and perhaps to provide an opportunity to encounter Buddhism. We hope to form a connection with everyone.
