A masterpiece beloved by both children and adults, this iconic work of Japanese literature is brought to life through a powerful reading and a soul-stirring soundscape. Engaging both the senses of hearing and sight, the performance invites the audience on an imaginative journey like no other.

After the performance, we will host a “Friendly After-Talk” session featuring a distinguished local guest, where visitors can engage in a warm and open conversation.

“The Restaurant of Many Orders”
Two gentlemen on a hunting trip in the mountains stumble upon a Western-style restaurant deep in the forest. A sign at the entrance reads, “Please come in. You are most welcome.” As they step inside, they are met with a series of increasingly strange requests.

“Morning of Farewell”
On the final morning with his ailing sister, the brother spends their last moments together in the snow, expressing his sorrow and quiet acceptance of her death through a heartfelt poem.

These two works by Kenji Miyazawa will be performed at the Asago Art Village.
