先日の能の会に際して、多賀大社名誉宮司の中野幸彦様が日頃打ち込んでいらっしゃる能面の数々を多賀あさひやの店内に展示いたしました。
中野さまは御歳８８で、茶道表千家同門会の滋賀支部長としても日々忙しくお過ごしになっています。お天気の良い日など、お散歩の途中によくカフェにお寄りくださり、地元ながら何も知らない私に多賀大社のことは勿論、様々なことをお教えいただいております。中野様を知る方は誰もが多賀大社に抱く気持ちと同じように博学で温厚な中野様を尊敬し、親しみをもって穏やかな気持でお話させていただいています。
中野様の能面の展示は６月末まで開催しています。展示だけご覧いただくことも勿論できます。せっかくの機会ですから、是非、展示を直に鑑賞しにおいでください。
On June 2nd, we had a Noh event at my cafe, and we also exhibited Noh masks made by Mr. Yukihiko Nakano who is honorary chief priest at Taga Taisha.
Mr. Nakano is 88 years old and after retiring from being a Shinto priest he started making Noh masks. He also has been busy as a branch director of Omotesenke school of tea ceremony in Shiga prefecture. Since he is a resident of Taga, he often stops by my cafe in the middle of his walk and gives a small talk to me as someone who doesn't know very much about Taga Taisha and old Japanese customs. Everybody who knows Mr. Nakano loves and respects him.
The exhibition of Noh masks continues till the end of June. Please come and appreciate them.
