Produced by Lisa Kataoka, New Japanese Echoes: Wa no Izumi Part 3 Unofficial
2025/08/30(sa.) 16:00 Starting
The world of Bunraku, one of the greatest treasures of Japanese culture, will be enjoyed at the "New Japanese Echoes: Wa no IZUMI 3rd", with a splendid lineup of performers produced by Lisa Kataoka at Sumitomo Seimei Izumi Hall. Beginning with an opening performance of the nagauta "Echigo Shishi" by high school students, the future of Japanese instruments will be explored with "Tsuru no Koe," a piece by Tamaoka Kenko, and a new piece commissioned by Akiko Yamane. The main performance will center on "Danpura Kabuto Gunki: Akoya Kotoshiki no Dan," a rich presentation of the art of bunraku woven together by the puppeteering of Living National Treasure Kanjuro Kiritake, the storytelling of Roseitayu Toyotake, and advanced shamisen playing. Please enjoy an evening where tradition and innovation come together.
