Hakuba Iwatake / Sunny2018.Nov.05
“Gagaku (ancient court music), Mai (dancing) and Hakuba-sanzan” was held twice, from 4:30pm and 6:00 pm, at HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOUR on Nov.3 (Sat). The temperature was below 10℃ at the terrace, while there was no wind. I enjoyed the music and dancing, wearing winter clothes.

Members of “Nihon Dentoh Butai Geijutsu” , which was supervised by Mr.Fumihiko Yamada, a Gakushi (a court musician) of Imperial Household Agency, performed there. Mai and Gagaku is Japanese traditional art, however, we have little opportunities to appreciate. The performance began after the plain interpretation of Mai and Gagaku by Mr.Yamada. The terrace was filled with their unique sound.

Instruments, including Biwa, Hichiriki, Ryuteki and Syo, were used in the performance. The structure of the Syo is similar to that of the pipe organ and it must be kept at the breath temperature. Each performance lasted for 30min but I felt the time flew so fast.

THE CITY BAKERY specially opened even at night for the event. I saw people having a wonderful evening, ordering coffee, beer and highball. Dining space, which was fully equipped with a heater, was also available.

I enjoyed the night view of Hakuba Village and Omachi City from Yahho Deck. The return gondola went in the dark and I enjoyed the different atmosphere than usual.
