TOKYO—Divine Performing Arts (DPA) drew a full-house in Tokyo on Feb. 11. Among the crowd was Jiangyi Chen, a renowned Chinese Iron Chef in Japan.

“This is way too wonderful, way too good. China has a very long history, yet Divine Performing Arts has included the entire Chinese history. Tonight’s performance is very interesting. Every dance is so beautifyl. I really like it,” Mr. Chen said.

NHK, also known as Japan Broadcasting Corporation, once had a culinary program. Various chefs strove to create delicious food, competing for the title of Iron Chef. Mr. Chen won 65 times, lost 17 times, and tied twice. He has kept the title exclusively ever since.

Mr. Chen was born in Japan yet still learned Chinese. His father, Jianmin Chen, brought a famous Sichuan dish, ‘Ma-po’ Tofu there. His father was also good friends with Daqian Zhang (1899-1983), a renowned Sichuan artist in Japan.

“If my father and Daqian Zhang were still alive, they would truly love Divine Performing Arts. DPA is very rich. There are many stories that are very interesting, especially The Poet’s Vision. It is very poetic and miraculous.”

In closing, Mr. Chen asked to pass a message to DPA, “Keep up the good work!”
