Comment from Min Tanaka
I am simply astonished. *Odori has always been a daily practice that comes next after the essentials of life—food, clothing, and shelter. I believe it will continue to be so. As a child who was not good at competing or basking in superiority, Odori was a perfect escape, a hiding place for me. At the same time, it was a playmate and the play itself. If you live with your body, Odori will come into anyone’s life. I want to continue believing that. This was something I never even imagined. I will take it as an encouragement for my next transformation. Thank you very much.

*Odori = Dance (There are many words in Japanese for dancing. this is one of them.)

We hope for your continued support.
