活躍してる塩川先輩
日本人のDNAを甦らさせてくれる笛や鐘、太鼓に酔いしれて、手拍子で舞台と観客が一体化しました。
そんな中に身を置いて、私は久しぶりに日本の民俗芸能・神楽を鑑賞しました。
演者として、東洋大学校友会神奈川県支部理事の塩川先輩が出演していました。
エンディングの舞台で、塩川先輩はお面を外し、前列にいた私たちが手を振ると、とっても素敵な笑顔を返してくれました。
帰りがけ、少し寒くなって小雨が降っていたけれど、本厚木駅構内のエビスバーでちょい飲みして、「あんなに塩川先輩が喜んでくれて、来た甲斐がありましたね」というあったかい気持ちになって帰りました。

The audience and the stage were intoxicated by the flutes, bells, and drums that revived the DNA of the Japanese people, and the audience became one with the stage by clapping their hands.
Placed in the midst of all this, I was able to appreciate Japanese folk performing art, kagura, for the first time in a long while.
The performer was Shiokawa Senpai, a board member of the Kanagawa Branch of the Toyo University Alumni Association.
At the end of the performance, Shiokawa took off his mask, and when we in the front row waved to him, he gave us a very nice smile.
On the way home, it was a little cold and drizzling, but we had a quick drink at the Ebisu Bar in Hon Atsugi Station and left with a warm feeling of “It was worth coming because Shiokawa-senpai was so happy.
