Shinrin no Akumu Odori

Konnichiwa! Here are some pictures of yesterday's Shinrin Odori in Gion Higashi. There were three okiya presented. Shiraito no taki, Blue Lotus and of course Mitsuhana.

The first part of this odori was Shiraito no Taki Odori. Here I have some pictures of it, enjoy!:)

Then there was a small play by Mitsuhana. It told about a girl who fell in love with someone her father didn't accept. And the man died for broken heart, the girl didn't know. She met him at her door and they went to see her father. At the door as the father opened it, the man disappeared. They then opened his grave and found him with the girls scarf in his head. This small play was called "Cold as clay", written by Mamehana-san, absolutely fantastic!

Then there was the main act. It told about a soldier and an Oni. The Oni tried to harm him, but at the end he hit the oni with his sword. Sayohana-san is playing the Oni.

And the very last part was a great group dance!
