Analysis
The Kirin lion dance of Tottori and Hyogo is a designated Japan Heritage tradition, and DMM.com is now backing a crowdfunding project to help sustain it. The interesting part is the model rather than the sum: a platform company supplying reach and operational help to a local preservation group, instead of a one-off grant.
