The Masau-no Kai Kyogen Company was founded by Mansaku Nomura II, a Living National Treasure of Japan, and is now also led by his son, Mansai II, part of a 250 year-old theatrical family line. Kyogen is one of the four representative classical theater arts of Japan which includes Noh, Bunraku and Kabuki. Kyogen is a medieval popular comedy founded in the early 14th century in Kyoto and which became integrated into the middle of each Noh play. Mansaku has been a pioneer in sharing Kyogen, as both a traditional and contemporary art, with audiences around the world.

Co-produced by SBU Theater Arts Department, Japan Society and Izumi Ashizawa Performance.

Photo Shooting in Kimono

Today was the last day of holiday weekend,
and we had to work on my photo shooting in kimono for my next project.

I can't make up my mind which photo to send to my client.

日曜日なのに、急な依頼が来てしまい、

夕方急いで着付けをして

写真撮影をしました。

フライヤー用みたいです。

Photos of the Yesterday's arts competiton

Yesterday was a long day for me.

I arrived at the theater in NJ at 11:00 am and came home at 11:00 pm.

The 32 groups including India, China, Korea, Indonesia and Japan joined the competition.

It was fun to see all of the performance but hard to choose a one grand prize winner from them.

After the competition is completed at 6:00 pm, we, Judges, were invited to the president's home for dinner, and took some pictures his home gallery.

Photos were taken by Larry Fisher
