Entries this day: Fence Nukumori

Fence

Before meeting Lin yesterday in Shibuya (on our way to Seed Ship for an event by my friend Amy), I put up new bamboo fence along the garden in chez Soness while Soness was out. She discovered it this morning and sent me a thank-you text and photo of it.

Nukumori

I think nukumori means feeling someone's warmth when when hugging or closely connected.

My friend Amy McCaleb organized an event called Nukumori at Seed Ship in Shimokitazawa

The event included Amy and another guy live painting, several musicians, and a slideshow from a guy who had been to a tsunami shattered area recently. But the best thing for me was a two person original play by Aki and Abe, which brought me to tears, plus was really awesomely presented! For 80% of the dialogue, the two characters were talking to each other, but the actors were facing us directly! We could see their every facial expression, perfect reactions to the other character's lines. Wow! I don't know the name of the performance, but I'd love to see it again. I wanted to jump up and hug Aki as the play ended (but hadn't met her yet so didn't).
