KYOTO!

Today, I can go wherever I want. So, I planed my schedule. I decided to go to KYOTO!
First, I went to Honpouji(本法寺), where is closely connected with Touhaku Hasegawa(長谷川等伯).
Next I went to Nijo castle(二条城). There are many kano school's(狩野派) works. But, most of them are now detached, preserved in treasury. Instead, copyes are attached there.

English Conversation's

The following text is the homework of English Conversation.

In the summer vacation, I had many things to do. At first, I had a dance performance at Ryougoku in July. Next, I prepared for Geisai, becouse I exhibited my work. Then, the next one was very hard, but I enjoyed very much. I went to Toyama to participate in the Toyama Performing Arts Festival 2009.

I went there with some children - 4 elementary school students, 4 junior high school students, 1 university student and my mother (my mother is a coleographer). We arrived at Toyama Station at noon, then we took a bus to go Toga Village. It took 2 hours to go Toga. Toga Village is located in the heart of the mountain, the bus went by a narrow road. Then we arrived at Toga, first we went to the theatre where we performed our dance. After finishing rehearsal, we went to the hotel.

Next morning, we got up at 5:00 am and prepared for the first stage began at 10:00 am. The festival had 2 stages, so the second stage began at 2:00 pm. There was very little time between the first and second stage.

The teatre was very unusual. It was a wooden house with a steep rafter roof. It was designed by a famous architect, Arata Isozaki. The stage had a very strange shape and many pillars were on the stage.

After finishing the stage, we left Toga Village. It took about 2 hours by bus and 4 hours by train to get back to our hometown. The children were very, very energetic, so they didn't sleep, but played card games and ate confectionery in the train....

It was a very hard schedule, but I now know about children's power.....
