If you don't follow the east and see this, you won't be able to greet the summer of Tokyo.

 The season has come to the east again this year. This year is four days from May 27 to 30 (Mon).


Even so, why do you write "Dance" instead of "Dance"? That kind of question came up.

I tried to open the website in the east. About the origin


"Shimbashi Hanayanagi world has continued since the Edo period. Invented by Tokutaro Kawamura that there are fine singing places in Kyoto and Osaka, but it is unfortunate that it is not in Tokyo. Shimbashi Enbujo was founded in April 1925. "


Regarding the development of the east, "Shimbashi Enbujo's opening (Kokera Otoshi) is a performance of Shimbashi Geisha and follows the east. It is said that the history of East began with this first time. In 1945, when he lost in the Pacific War, Shimbashi Enbujo also turned into rubble, but in the east, waited for its reconstruction, and served as a play from Kirasei of post-war literature such as Yasunari Kawabata, Junichirou Tanizaki, Eiji Yoshikawa, Matsutaro Kawaguchi, etc. I asked for a play and added a new axis called dance drama. "

 Oh, there's a scenario for dancing.

But what is the birthplace of Shimbashi Geisha? 

Also, there was a question, and I thought that this would be impossible to elucidate without interviewing the organizer of the east, so I decided to interview. The article for the interview is next time!


Actually, I enjoy seeing Ginzo, the east of last year. I also have a two-shot photo with a geisha.
