On the afternoon of June 10 (Saturday), we watched the "19th Classical Performing Arts Appreciation Party" organized and produced by the Chuo-ku Cultural and International Exchange Promotion Association sponsored by the Chuo-ku Classical Performing Arts Association.
The venue was the Nihonbashi Theater at Nihonbashi Kakigaracho 1-chome (Nihonbashi Public Hall Hall in Nihonbashi Kumin Center).
Applicants apply in advance by postcard, and the target audience was those who live or work in Chuo-ku and those who wish to appreciate it.
The contents are:
（１） The lecture was given by Shigero Ito, entitled "Chuo-ku and Chushingura-Oishi built-in assistant in Nihonbashi and Nanji Akaho buried in Honganji-".
Mr. Ito was a 20-minute lecture by Edo late Tokugawa shogunate researcher living in Shintomi-cho, but there were plenty of unknown and unexpected stories.
（２） The performance of Nagauta "Chitose of the Island", a small drum of Kisaku Katada, an honorary resident of Chuo-ku and a living national treasure (),
and a shamisen of Norimitsu Kiya, also an honorary resident of Chuo-ku and a living national treasure (). People were
（３） In Nagauta "Urashima", Kikutou Tatekata Onoue performed, and the performance was now performed by Jiro Fujimi.
（４） Rakugo was "puzzling sparrow" by Mr. Kanaharatei Mao.
There was a lot of voice saying "Kibikicho" to the appearance of a master of Masei from Ginza.
（５） In Nagauta "Uguisukujuku Ume", the dances were Tsuru Hanayanagi, Toshihiko Hanayanagi, Kura Sumi Hanayagi, and the performances were from Jiro Fujimi Shrine.
This was a fun work like a fairy tale-like fairy tale with Kyogen.
The music was performed by people from Shinjuro Katada, and the moderator was Riseki Tobaya.
With the careful introduction before the performance started, I was able to enjoy all the performances.
The capacity was 382 people, but in fact the venue was full.
I thought that it would be unique to Chuo-ku, which has been the center of culture and art since the Edo period, that such appreciation events were held continuously and counted 19 times.
