2024せんばい寄席(5-2)レポートの2回目は紙切りです。
演芸で紙切りを見るのは、おそらく2度目ぐらいでした。
日本初の紙切り女性芸人・林家花さんは、手始めに「舞妓さん」を器用な手つきで切り紙にしてから、「満月のうさぎ」「宝船」「大谷翔平」などのリクエストに応える実演と話芸、お客様へのイジリが秀悦でした。
出来上がった切り紙は、台紙と一緒にリクエストした方に差し上げるサービスはとても喜ばれました。
The second installment of the 2024 Senbai Yose (5-2) report is on paper cutting.
This was probably only the second time I had seen paper cutting in a performance.
Hana Hayashiya, Japan's first female paper-cutting performer, started off with a dexterous hand in paper-cutting "Maiko-san" (a Japanese geisha), followed by a demonstration of "Full Moon Rabbit," "Treasure Ship," "Shohei Otani," etc., responding to requests, story-telling and teasing the audience with excellent performance.
The service of giving the finished paper cutouts, along with their mounts, to those who requested them was very much appreciated.
