The Kitazawa Hachiman Shrine Festival 2019
Today I am going to write about the report pf my traditional Japanese dance for the Kitazawa Hachiman shrine festival. I have been dedicated my dance to the god every year since 2011. Thank you for coming to the shrine at this festival! This year, it was the first time that my grandson, who was born this spring, and my mother came to see me dance there. She looked excited seeing her great-grandson than my dance. I performed 'Takasagao' and 'Imogashira' that is same as the last year's program. Both of them are very happy programs. 'Imogashira' means a tuber of taro plant in Japanese. Taro has many children, so it represents the prosperity of descendants. I danced in the hope of everyone's happiness. I wore this gorgeous kimono, and you can know more informations about it on my another blog, kimonoism10. I also posted new painting of three fashion illustrations of mixing and matching of this kimono! Click here.

After my performance, I watched the video of my dance and found a lot of room for improovement. Next year, it will be my 10th year dedicating my performance to the shrine, so I would love to show you something special. I would like to prepare little by little for the stage from now on. Occasionally, happenings like a movie 'Whiplash' opposed me, but your applause and messages encourage me. I feel that the shrine always supports me. Once again, thank you so much!!
