Bright blessings for all those who celebrate the old ways.

The life and adventures of a mildly dotty old bird.
Our gentle giant Humphrey is now at peace. We will miss him terribly, but it's been an absolute privilege to have him in our life. Aril...

ReplyDeleteHappy Fall, or Autumn to you Aril.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever seen the shishi-odori? For many years I was an onstage announcer for Minyo dancers. When they performed with the Imperial dance troupe (on a rug from the Imperial palace!), I had the honor of being the prop girl who held the chief dancer's face towel and, for a very few seconds, his mask. Their antlers and masks were actually relics and smelled of incense. Old ways, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI've just seen a clip of them on Youtube [I hadn't heard of them]...amazing! Arilx
