Mitsuhana Odori

The Odori in Mitsuhana.. was amazing. I could say that it was the best Odori I have seen so far!

The room was dark, lit with many blue lanterns on the stage.

Really beautiful! And the music was beautiful too.
They even had Kikuyuu-san playing koto!

Like I said, it was dark.. And beautiful. Here you can see two maiko dressed as miko, drum and a full moon at the back. These dancers are Mamehana-san (left) and Reika-san (right)

                                                          This is Reika-san

                                                      And this is Mamehana-san

After a little while these beautiful  lights started to fly around the two miko.

Mamehana-san
the musicians (Kikuyuu-san was playing koto)
Tomohana-san
                                         
After a little while, there came a taiko drummer to the stage.




Then, suddenly the miko turned into these. Beautiful, very very beautiful.


The taiko drummer and these two beautiful creatures.

Then they turned back to miko. And soon after that the show ended. It was absolutely amazing and beautiful, that's all I can say!

"吾が舞へば、
Because I had danced,
 麗し女、酔ひにけり
the beautiful lady was enchanted
吾が舞へば、
Because I had danced,
照る月、響むなり
the shining moon echoed
結婚に、
Proposing marriage,
神、天下りて
the god shall descend
夜は明け、鵺鳥、鳴く
The night clears away and the chimera bird will sing.
とほかみゑみため
God Bless you
とほかみゑみため
God Bless you"
