Tito Cesar's Dance Academy
In our Jota costumes for a dance program. |
 |
| Such dramatic poses. |
 |
| Still have those castanets. |
Kenbu satisfied my interest in Japanese history. We danced with a sword and fan (kenbu), or just fan(senbu). Nagao Sensei sang the shigin, which is a Chinese style poem of a historical occurrence or a scenic description.

| A performance at the Consulate with visiting Senbu teachers from Japan (in the brighter hakamas). I was with the koto group so I had on my kimono. |

Article on Nagao, Jundo Sensei's return from Japan after getting his degree from the Shingikan kenbu school and the Shinshinryu school of Shigin.
 |
| Our Okoto teacher was Mikami Sensei, who learned from Miyagi Michio, the famous blind koto musician who composed Haru no Umi. |

Just for fun.
Our group, Suzurankai, put on a performance for Japanese Culture night at the UH Kennedy Theater. |
