6月1日(水曜日)2022 

 「一噌幸弘、笛の世界」が今週の土曜日に迫り、楽しみにしてくださっている方も多いと思います。一噌さんの笛の音の響きは鋭く深淵な一方で優しく温かいものがあり、ジャンルも和に止まらず洋にまで広げて素晴らしい技法で聴かせてくださいます。 

 お出でくださる客様に、もう一つお楽しみが増えました。多賀大社名誉宮司の中野幸彦氏は能面作家でもあり素晴らしい作品を数々残していらっしゃいます。6月4日は多賀あさひやの会場に中野宮司の作品を数点展示してご来場の皆様に鑑賞していただきたいと思っています。能面は作者によってはもちろんですが、わずかの角度や光の当て方によっても驚くほどその表情が変わります。私は能舞台でシテが面を着けて舞っている姿を数回と写真でしか能面を見たことがなく、今回間近で中野さんの作品を拝見してその迫力と表情に驚きました。写真を何枚か撮りましたが、実物に勝るものはありません。

    Flute concert by Yukihiro Isso will be held this Saturday and I guess many people are looking forward to coming to the concert. Isso's flute playing is deep and sharp and on the other hand gentle and warm. He will play not only Japanese traditional music but also western music with amazing technique.

    I would like to add one more pleasurable thing for the audience. Mr. Yukihiko Nakano is the honorary chief priest of Taga Taisha Shrine and he is also Noh mask creator and has already created many wonderful masks. We will display some of his works on the day of the concert so people appreciate them. The expression of the noh masks will change not only by the creator but also the angle of the mask and lighting. I saw noh actors putting on masks on stage, and I also saw several photos of noh masks but I haven't seen real ones closely before. I was overwhelmed by the powerful expression of Nakano's works. I took several photos of these but the real masks are more powerful.
