Walk in U.S., Talk on Japan | Kyogen Lecture & Workshop

The “Walk in U.S., Talk on Japan” program has been taking place since 2014 in various regions of the U.S. to share stories of Japan. The program is rooted in the belief that exchanges between Japanese and a broad, diverse range of Americans can nurture the friendship between Japan and the U.S. at a grassroots level. This program will feature a special lecture and workshop by Tokuro Miyake the 10th, internationally renowned kyogen (traditional comic theatre) performer.
