What are traditional crafts?
Speaker: Kazuko Todate, vice chairperson of the DENKEN-TEST Association and Professor at Tama Art University
In the Edo period, what was it called, rather than the word "craft"? What was the incident that led the country to take action to protect traditional craft techniques? You can understand the history of traditional crafts that continues to this day through the explanations of vice chairperson Tonodate, a craft historian.
How to enjoy traditional culture (Noh, Bunraku puppet theatre, Kabuki)
Cast: Kabuki researcher and Tokiwazu setsutayu (master of Tokiwazu) Eiichi Suzuki
Was the shamisen played in Bunraku said to be an instrument that corrupts people? Is Noh the ultimate traditional Entertainment in which the performer continues to perform until the end, even if the main character falls? Is the history of Kabuki a game of cat and mouse with the Shogunate's crackdown?
It explains the appeal of traditional Entertainment that many people are not familiar with. It is full of information that will make you want to go and see it the next day.
