Everything about a person appears in his or her behavior. To make one's behavior beautiful is to make oneself beautiful. It means changing the way of life itself, including the way of mind. That is what I want to support. (Mai Sakurakawa)

Modern Tradition Dance Performance JapanExpo Australia

Last year's performance at Japan Expo Sydney was a collaborative performance between myself and Kunihiro Matsumoto, titled Modern Tradition "Houmai". I then introduced Japan to the global audience through a comprehensive performance of top-notch music, nail art, makeup, and more.

The Japan Expo Sydney performance was a very important milestone for me, and I hope that this opportunity touched people's hearts and helped those from different backgrounds and cultures understand and empathize with each other.

I was very pleased that people had this opportunity to see our Modern Tradition "Houmai” performance, and I hope that it moved them and brought delight to their hearts. We once again wore special nail art by Nobuko Nagata, a nail designer who has exhibited her work in fashion shows in New York, London, Milan, and Paris.

We also wore makeup by Koji Watanabe, winner of the World Makeup Contest and makeup designer of the Japanese musical "CATS."

The production of Modern Tradition "Houmai” was directed by Kunihiro Matsumoto, and the choreography and dance was a collabrative effort between us. Mr. Matsumoto who is a member of the Japan Directors Association and the director/choreographer of Wacoal International Shows and Off Broadway productions.

The music to Modern Tradition "Houmai” was Kashira, the latest work by Masanori Takumi who is the first Japanese artist to win a Grammy Award, giving us a wonderfully brilliant song that evokes the Japanese spirit, with its nostalgia, etherealness, and grandeur.

I founded FullmyBijin Academy Inc. with the aim of spreading the beauty of classical Japanese dance to the world and fusing its essence with the modern age to enrich people's hearts around the world.

I hope that by incorporating elements of Japanese dance into daily life, more people will discover its beauty and be filled with happiness. Starting next year, I plan to incorporate the "Modern Tradition" style into my traditional lessons. What do you think? Would you like to dance? Would you like to dance with me in the world?
