Last week our Class 7 Japanese students performed two engaging Japanese stories: Warashibe Choja (The Straw Head Master) and Kasa Jizo (The Child God). Katsuko and the students created a truly Japanese aesthetic in the elegant presentation of these two profound Japanese fables about selflessness and taking care of each other. The students spoke beautifully in Japanese as two performers translated the text for the audience.
Complete with exquisite kimono and sadō (tea ceremony), the production provided the students an opportunity to engage deeply with traditional Japanese culture and history through storytelling.
