"Kamogawa river ride / Nishimori Tomoe"

The sunshine is getting stronger day by day, and we can feel Transition from spring to summer.
Up and Down you all doing?

The other day, they performed at the Kaburenjo Theater in Pontocho, just a short walk from SOU・SOU
I went to the "Kamogawa river" and went on.
The Kamogawa river is a butoh performance started in 1872 (Meiji 5)
Five flower streets of Kyoto (Gion Ko Division, Miyagawa Town, Pontocho, Kamisenaga, Gion east)
It is said that it boasts the largest number of performances.
And the stage, which is the stage, also started construction in 1925 (Taisho in 2002), completed in 1927 and is a historical building.


I have lived in Kyoto for about 6 and a half years, but the first time I go to Kamogawa!
I could not help looking forward to the day.


The vicinity of Pontocho is a color of Kamogawa.
Lanterns of "Kamogawa Chidori" that is a crest of Ponto town everywhere.


On the stage, you will be fascinated Kimono performed by geisha and maiko.
I am surprised by various gimmicks on the stage, and time passes quickly.
Even with the same choreography, we have divided the fingertips and foot openings by every character by role, and I was moved by each work.


As a souvenir, I received a sweets plate and Handkerchief, which are typically served at tea ceremonies.
This Handkerchief commemorates the 180th anniversary of the Kamogawa Dance.
Illustrations of zigzag with geiko drawn on it are designed.
Mizuko san specification staggers. It is very pretty.


The stage of a masterpiece that does not usually meet you
I got stuck in the appeal with the Kamogawa this time.
I'd like to win the harvest some day in the flower street with "Drop Miyako", "Doki Kitano", "Kyo Dance", "Dragon Park".
