Kodo at Southbank centre, London

Posted on 9th Jun 2009

I went to see a performance by "Kodo" (A group of Japanese traditional drum players). To be honest, I hadn't seen any proper Japanese drum performance before, and I just went there because it was 50% off for students! But it was amazing. Just amazing. I thought it would be good when I saw the […]

Switzerland Day1

Posted on 4th Jun 2009

Now it's Switzerland! It's the first experience for me to travel around again and again in such a short period. Actually it was a field trip of the course but some of us went there a few days earlier. Taking a flight from Gatwick, it took only 1.5hours to Zurich. So close! We rent a […]

Portugal Day1|ポルトガル・1日目

Posted on 19th May 2009

Err...what should I write about now...right, Portugal day1. The reason why I went there was to attend a media event called OFFF, but I was just passive as always, my classmate found about it (thanks!) and I joined them! So I did no research beforehand! But I enjoyed it very much :) The event started […]

Noh at V&A|ロンドンで能

Posted on 5th May 2009

As I heard that I could see "Noh" (Japanese traditional theatre) at V&A, I went there wearing my kimono. To be honest, when I went to see "Noh" almost 10 years ago, it was in Yasukuni Shrine and the play was "Atsumori" as same as this time, the situation was perfect as there were some […]

Spain Day1|スペイン旅行・1日目

Posted on 3rd May 2009

I went to Spain for Easter holiday. It was the first time for me to go there! Since I decided to join my friends only before the holiday, I had no idea where "Malaga" was. I took Easy jet for the first time, and flew from Luton airport. I could sleep really well on the […]
