Master Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun a lesson. “Echigo-Shishi” is a bit different from normal manly dance: it is for kid performers. Gorgeous performance full of scenes to watch including sarashi (=a long strip of cotton cloth) swinging, yet at the same time, it is no easy for grown-up dancers to do with lightness of steps.
Month: July 2014
Summer Gift
StandardChugen (=summer gift) season has come. Trainees of Japanese cultures, including sado (=tea ceremony) and kado, (=flower arrangement), are supposed to bring chugen and seibo (=winter gift) to their trainers. As for Japanese dance, natori dancers are to follow this custom. However, Master Mei-Shu gave Mei-Shun a souvenir of Hokkaido yesterday – what a timing! It is just before receiving chugen from her student.
Any Disease?
StandardMaster Mei-Shu, stayed for a while in Hokkaido, has come home. She lost 8 kilograms in a year – it looks nothing but unusual. Shall I bring you to the hospital? No, it is never allowed for just one of her students to force anything. Just feeling worried is so hard. It looks like telling Mei-Shun that she is powerless.
The Second Half of 2014
StandardThe latter half of this year started. Mei-Shun would be on stage on November 3rd, the National Holiday. Only 4 months left! Feeling nervous with this idea, she stayed up till late last night.
