[Konoike Shinden Kaisho] Kansai Culture Day: Chikuzen Biwa Narrative & Original Kodan with Chanson

About this event

At the Kansai Culture Day Event held at Konoike Shinden Kaisho in Higashiosaka City, the first part features a Chikuzen biwa storytelling performance by Kyokuren Kadoi. The program includes two pieces, 'Maioogi Tsurugaoka' and 'Hosokawa Garasha Fujin' (Lady Hosokawa Gracia), delivering the prayers and emotions of people who lived through turbulent eras via the deep resonance of the biwa lute. In a traditional Japanese setting rich in historical atmosphere, visitors can immerse themselves in stories of the distant past. In the subsequent second part, an original kodan storytelling performance by Nansho Kyokudo and a beautiful chanson stage by Fumi Nakamura are scheduled, offering a rich program where Japanese and Western cultures intersect. As chilly weather is expected in late autumn at the venue, bringing warm blankets or lap robes is recommended. Admission to this event is free, with a capacity of 50 people. Applications opened at 10:00 AM on Friday, October 23, 2026, and all spots were booked on the same day.
