11th Classical Performing Arts Appreciation June 20 (Sat)

[Mikazuki] June 30, 2009 17:00

From 6:00 pm on June 20 (Saturday), I saw a classical performing arts appreciation party at Nihonbashi Theater in Nihonbashi Kumin Center.

When I was young, my grandmother on both sides was playing geisha Waltz with the shamisen in the evening, and I think that it was not very good because one of the grandmother was accidentally stopped in the same place, but I didn't think it was very good, but I loved the pleasant sound of the shamisen.

As you walk along the path of Ningyocho, you can still hear the sound of the shamisen occasionally. When there is a performance of Meijiza, a shamisen shop in amazake Yokocho is playing. In such a case, I stop and listen to the sound of the shamisen.confident

I had always wanted to go to a shamisen concert, but I learned about the classical performing arts appreciation party with a poster in Chuo-ku and watched it for the first time. It took less than two hours, but I was impressed by the sounds and dances of my favorite shamisen, with lectures on culture and history of Edo, stories about Joruri Tokiwazu, dance Yamato Raku, Gitayu, and dance Kiyoharu. You can see performing arts in various fields at once, so it is recommended for beginners like yourself.

Those who perform or perform are members of the Chuo Ward, who follow the tradition from the Edo period, and perform wonderful arts once a year. There were also interesting stories such as "June 6, 6, is good to start performing arts," and "Kanetsugu Naoe's mansion is the current Metropolitan Police Department." And there are many kimonos who come to see them, and I am deeply moved to think that during the Edo period, I was watching the play of Edo Yoza around here. I'm looking forward to the next time.note
