Princess Kako, the second daughter of the Akishino family, visited Kyoto Prefecture on Oct 6 and watched Wachi puppet joruri, a traditional performing art, at the Kyotamba town office. Tokyo Shimbun published a photograph of her watching the performance in Kyotamba on the afternoon of Oct 6. Yomiuri Shimbun described Wachi joruri as a Kyoto Prefectural intangible folk cultural property. [ 1 , 2 , 3 ]
After the performance, Yomiuri Shimbun reported, the princess said: “The characters' feelings came across, and it was a very good performance.” Nishi-Nippon Shimbun quoted her saying that the movement of the puppets and the sound of the shamisen “matched perfectly” and that she thought it was lovely. [ 2 , 3 ]
She also talked with local junior high school students who study joruri in class as part of efforts to pass the tradition on. According to Yomiuri Shimbun, she asked them earnestly what they pay attention to when moving the puppets. Nishi-Nippon Shimbun said she told the students the movement and music fit together well. [ 2 , 3 ]
Nishi-Nippon Shimbun reported that she also walked through a chrysanthemum display in a nearby park before moving to Kameoka, where she viewed art works of huts made from straw and bamboo at Kyoto Kameoka Hozukawa Park. The creator, a 34-year-old man, explained that many residents had taken part in the work, and she replied with a smile that “there were wonderful encounters.” [ 2 ]
Nishi-Nippon Shimbun described the trip as a one-night, two-day visit arranged for the ceremony of a national urban greening festival among other reasons. Yomiuri Shimbun said the festival is to be held in Kameoka on Oct 7, with her Kyotamba visit made ahead of it. [ 2 , 3 ]
Por qué importa
The visit is routine imperial-family reporting, but it brings attention to Wachi puppet joruri, which one outlet describes as a Kyoto Prefectural intangible folk cultural property, and to the junior high school students working to carry it on. Coverage of the Kameoka leg also highlights a community art project that organizers said involved many local residents.
