OSAKA, Japan—Traditionally called the “nation’s kitchen,” Osaka, Japan’s gourmet food capital, received a different kind of treat on Wednesday, Feb. 18—Divine Performing Arts (DPA) gave both a matinee and evening performance at the Umeda Arts Theater.
For Ms. Ebata, a color coordinator, who attended the evening performance, the show was beautiful. “The color scheme of the show was so wonderful.”
The gorgeous costumes provide range from manly uniforms suiting up warriors to beautiful silken dresses. The designs require extensive searches to locate just the right fabrics.
“The show was incredibly bright and beautiful. It had a wonderful intensity. I feel like I received energy from the show.
“The performance about Ji Gong snatching the bride to save the town—the ending was a surprise. The cliff collapsed, but the town’s people were saved. I was moved by that performance.”
Monk Ji Gong Abducts the Bride depicts one of China’s most beloved figures, a monk who used unusual ways to help people. In this case, he literally runs off with a bride at a wedding reception in order to save villager’s lives.
