"An Invitation to Traditional Performing Arts/Yoshida Shingo"

I learned that the 13th generation Ichikawa Danjuro's name succession performance in Osaka this October will be his last.
Of course I decided to go,
I've always been interested in Japanese culture.★Mr. Wang"Would you like to go see a Kabuki performance?"
When asked, he immediately replied, "I'll go!"

So that's it!
Here we come, Mr. Wang and Osaka!!


This is where I'll be spending today
I was having fun inspecting the Osaka Shochikuza before it opened and taking photos with the Glico sign, but there wasn't much time left until the show started, so I hurried into the venue.


This time my seat was in the middle of the first floor, and the view was like this.
Danjuro's powerful and impressive performances, the performances of the other actors, the supporting music and the rapidly changing backgrounds were all wonderful.


Although Wang was a little worried about whether his performance would be entertaining, he was relieved and satisfied, saying, "It was a great performance!"
I'm sure the invitation to Kabuki will be a success!

As photography is Wang's hobby, he brought his camera with him on the day, so I asked him to take a photo along with the souvenirs he had bought as a memento.

For those who have never seen Kabuki, I recommend starting with Danjuro, just like Mr. Wang this time!
See you next time!
