Japan Photo Blog, Vol. 68 - At the Kameda Kounan-ku Cultural Hall
文化
būnka. “culture.”
My family enjoyed a trip to a performing arts center here in Niigata City last weekend that I had been previously unaware of. As someone who was heavily involved in stage acting and production in high school and afterwards, I thoroughly enjoy going to these fantastic places and feeling the hush of the hall when the lights come on on the stage, and getting lost in the magic that happens thereupon.
I hope you’ll enjoy these pictures from our visit, and also the video of a very talented percussion group, and the one and only @mslight2016st performing on stage!

That Christmas feeling.

Darjeeling tea with milk and sugar in the restaurant at the hall.
This silly dude!
Please enjoy this short video of two live performances, one featuring @mslight2016st.

Thank you for education - Japan have a great culture and many exellent places.

Haha. Excellent!
Always love that beautiful, hypnotic traditional music. That new-fangled rock'n'roll also sounds great!
Heh heh. Kids these days! *Shakes head and spits on the ground

Wishing you a happy holiday season as well!
Thanks a lot for your wish!
Hello kafka.. beautiful pictures clicked of the Kameda cultural hall. Nice to see you all had a great weekend. Isaiah's celebrations is full on as the Christmas is round the corner.You know, like Darjeeling tea , which is a part of north east India, I would suggest if you get a chance sometimes then do try Assam tea as well.It's world famous . The rhythm of the beats was excellent in the video...loved it.
Resteemed.
Yes! You guys are in Assam, right? I gotta try it! I will look for it next time I’m out.
Thanks for the resteem. I loved the rhythms as well.
Yeah.. I am Assamese... And nice that you are willing to try it out... thanks so much...good night..

Cheers, @jbcoin! Yeah, nothing professional, but was heavily involved in theater in high school. I still love it, just don’t do it anymore.
