Performances were a diverse mix of styles, good crowd, and nice tips. Ichimaru played an Erhu that was enchanting... I wore the snow kimono and told 200 year old Issa snow haiku.

Snow show was a beauty


Streaming music by Yoneyu. A perfect 1 hour show. Stories from Suzuharu, Ichimaru, and Yoneyu all with a winter snow theme. I had 3 snow makers in the roof of the stage, hehe. probably a bit OTT but it looked kinda neat. 500$L tips so a good night for us brits...
