Hi all!
This week, The Japan Council of Local Authorities for International Relations (J.CLAIR), Singapore and Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan will be jointly organising a series of ‘Takachiho Kagura’ performances in order to introduce Japanese traditional arts to the people of Singapore.
For those who are unaware, ‘Takachiho Kagura’ is a traditional dance with origins in Japanese myths and prayers to give thanks for rich grain harvests. It is also designated as an important intangible folk cultural property in Japan.
This is a rare chance to see a live performance of ‘Takachiho Kagura’. As the performances are free, do take the opportunity to come down and enjoy them! More details on the events can be found in the flyer above! 🙂

The doors to the 200-year-old Tomiyo tea house open to our cameras to provide a glimpse of the lives of geisha, or geiko as they are known in Kyoto. 77-year-old Kimi is Tomiyo’s eighth generation okami proprietress. She faces the difficult decision of when to pass on her responsibilities to her 45-year-old daughter, who also has outside interests. See how tradition and modernity converge in this candid portrait of a rarefied world.
