Program（２）→
On the first day,
"Speech & Performance" was held in Kudoyama.The nine speakers from eight different countries talked about the differences between their own cultures and the Japanese. They made speeches in fluent Japanese. It was a great help for the audience to understand them, also it brought them all the closer to each other. After the speech, we were fascinated by the beauty of the authentic performances; Traditional Indian Music, Opera duet, Chinese Biwa and Korean Dancing. The performances were dynamic and elegant, and more than impressive. Here again, I'd like to express my gratitude to all of the participants including Shiide-Onimai, the demon dancing performed by the local people as an opening attraction.
After the parade, we went to Koyasan to stay in a Buddhist temple. Having meditation, enjoying vegetarian cuisine, having a lecture about Buddhism, making Juzu beads, joining in the morning service early in the morning, and walking tour. Needless to say, all of the experiences in Koyasan are the perfect lesson to introduce Japanese culture, I believe. I hope this program will be a help to enrich cross-cultural communication.
