I didn’t know which blog this would be most fitting to post on so I’m posting it, with different photos, both here and on my Ashland Daily Photo blog.

This past Sunday, the Oregon Shakespeare Festival was having its “Culture Fest.” At noon a matinée Green Show featured Mitsuki Dazai on the Japanese koto. Ms. Dazai was lots of fun between songs, telling stories and enchanting the crowd.

Here she is performing Shaei (斜影 or “Diagonal Shadows”) by Hikaru Sawai (沢井 比河流). Sawai was in a heavy metal band before writing this piece for the koto.
