About the Organizer
ACROS Fukuoka Access
ACROS Fukuoka Facility GuideI would like this meeting to be a place of spiritual exchange for people who share thejoy of playing the flute. It is nothing more than that.
I believe that only people with a beautiful heart can have a truly beautiful sound.
Let’s play the flute in order to improve ourselves.
Also, we should help each other as soul mates.
There seem to be many things that this association should do for this purpose, in order tohelp bring people together.
I am also making efforts. I hope that each of you will also help just a little for thispurpose.
Let’s make our life happier and beautiful through playing the flute.

Masao Yoshida, the First JFA president
On the Occasion of the Foundation of the Associationfrom the 1st edition of the journal issued in November, 1966

Message from the Chairperson
Japan Flute Convention is the biggest festival in Japan held every other year. We are very happy tohave prominent artists and flute enthusiasts at home and abroad to gather together for this 19th
convention in Fukuoka. For the first time to visit Japan as the group, the 14 Berlin Flutists are
joining us, too. During the three days, we will fully and sincerely enjoy listening to and playing theflute. It will be the opportunity to meet new people and to expand our music world. We, flutists in
Kyushu region, have prepared the program with variety of plans and are looking forward to seeing
you there.
Matahiko Takeda
Chairperson, the 19th Japan Flute Convention Fukuoka Executive Committee
