I felt the difference of strolling play and present popular play. The play by stroller in ancient Edo era had a sad image but nowadays it is very bright and humorous. What an anachronism !
I visited on the last day the live show of Miyako Wakamaru company whose leader is 36 years old and most of them are 20’s years old. The comic play was convulsed with laughter and Japanese dances were bewitching beauty as grabbing the audience mind. It took over 3 hours but did let us feel shorter because the actors and audience became together. Almost of the audience were ardent fan and some of them gave the money to the actors on every dance. Such a big deal !!!
The leader and sub-leader acted man and woman very skillfully and got much tips. My next sheet said that she would give much money to them if she had won a public lottery. Never forget to buy lottery first.
The costumes except classic kimono style made by synthetic fiber were easier to dance heavily. My black jacket with red accent remade from authentic pure silk kimono can also act easily, but I don’t dance at all !
The entrance fee was only $20. I will come again !!!
