A friend of mine is a Japanese traditional dancer friend, and she invited us to the show.
We appriciate her because we enjoyed it so much. It was a very nice show.
We visited her dressing room, and we could see her put on her japanese wig.
I found so many people take part in a show, I was very impressed.
彼女の演目は、「吉原雀」。
事前に演目の解説を書いて送ってくださっていたので、より楽しむことができました。
Her show's title is "Yoshiwara Suzume". Yoshiwara is a name of town which is famous as prostitute town at Edo period, Suzume means sparrows.
She wrote for us about the story of her show in advance. It's very interesting.
彼女と相方の方、二人で踊るシーンのひとつひとつが絵になっています。
着物や小道具の雀のかご、かんざし、頭巾なども絵の中の一つです。
また、音楽も三味線、唄、笛、太鼓など、いろどりを添えます。
ありがとう、よしこさん！
Each scene of her show was very beautiful as if it were a piece of art work.
I was also amazed at her clothes and some other details, for exemple, the cage of sparrows, the hair accesary called "Kanzashi", and also music; Shamisen, Song, Flute, Drams.
Thank you, dear my friend, Yoshiko!
