On Tuesday, April 26, 2022, at the Meiji Kinenkan “Horai no Ma”, the first original project of Nippon Art & Culture Salon “Gods of Kojiki-Izanagi God and Izanami God-” was performed. At the premium dinner theater, which is limited to 100 seats, we received many inquiries waiting for cancellation even after the seats were full. We are very sorry that we did not meet your request. And thank you to everyone who came to watch!

Introduce of some impressions of the visitors

There was a greatfullness of “a place to connect” and “creation”

Awsome! It’s a waste just once. I want to watch it again and again. Hope it to spread to all around Janan, and to the world too!

It was a wonderful entertainment that conveys the Kojiki, which should be the identity of the Japanese, to the present day. Especially after all, I thought that music would have a big influence. But everyone was a great entertainment!

The puppet operation was really great. I watched the moment that the puppet starts to breath. Izanaki was so powerful that I cried unintentionally at the final prayer scene.

It was a very solemn and powerful performance. It was very interesting. I felt that the sound of percussion fits the world of the Gods very well.

We received many other hot impressions! In particular, there were many requests for performances in rural areas, as well as requests for replays rather than just once. Please look forward to future plans!
