先日、ハワイ大学の学生たちは「それぞれ次の目的地へと旅立って行きました」と書きましたが、まだ日本を旅している人たちもいます
弁天小僧を勤めたカリースは、大阪で文楽、博多座で歌舞伎を観て、今日は高麗蔵さんが出演中の「歌舞伎鑑賞教室」を観に行きます
その合間、偶然にも彼女のホテルが東京の我が家と近いこともあり妻と娘とご飯(歌舞伎好きなら知っておくべきお店😉)に行ったり、ドライブに行ったりと楽しく過ごしている様子
僕はそこにビデオ通話で参加
久しぶりに画面越しに会えてうれしかった
昨日だるまの絵付け体験に行った彼女、「顔をする際いつも門之助先生が私の右側に立ってアドバイスしてくれたので、今日も、門之助先生が側にいてくれるような気がした」と言ってくれたのを聞き、僕にとっても全ての人との瞬間、瞬間が一生の思い出となることは間違いないと感じました
門之助🤞
Though I wrote in this blog that each one of the UH students had departed to their new journeys, there are some who are still traveling around Japan individually, and Karese who played the role of Benten is one of them.
She had been traveling the western part of the country, seeing Bunraku in Osaka, Kabuki at Hakataza, and is going to see Komazo san in “Kabuki Performance for Beginners” in Arakawa today.
Luckily, the hotel she’s staying at in Tokyo is in our vicinity and it seems like she and my family are having fun getting together to eat something you shouldn’t miss if you’re Kabuki lover and drove around the Bay Area.
I talked with her last night while they were chatting at a cafe.
It was so nice being able to talk to her though on screen.
She said, “When I went to “daruma” face painting today, I felt like Monnosuke sensei was right beside me who would often help me standing on my right side while making up.”
Listening to these words, I once again realized my days with them will never be forgotten.
I cherish each moment with each one there.
