This is a paper-cutting artwork by the third generation of Shorakku Hayashiya, a master of "Kamikiri," a traditional Japanese performing art that Japan can be proud of. He skillfully manipulates paper and scissors to instantly cut out shapes based on requests from the audience. The item for sale this time is "Ushima no Shiroume" (White Plum Blossoms of Yushima), which was cut at the Suzumoto Engeijo theater. I requested it because it was the plum blossom season when I went to the theater. I have kept it carefully for many years, but due to various circumstances, I have decided to list it on Mercari. The bag has some wrinkles and slight folds, but the artwork itself is stored in a clear file. Please understand that it is managed by an individual. I hope to find someone who will cherish it. ● Career 1966 - Entered under Koshoraku Hayashiya, stage name "Ichiraku." 1988 - Inherited the name "Koshoraku Hayashiya" September 2000 - Inherited the name "The third generation of Shorakku Hayashiya" ● Awards 1983 - 13th National Engei Hall Rising Star Performing Arts Award Gold Prize February 1988 - 3rd Selected Young Performers Grand Prize Encouragement Award for Variety Arts March 2020 - Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology's Art Encouragement Prize (Popular Entertainment Division) The first time in history for a paper-cutting artist to receive this award ■ About the product ● I received it at the Suzumoto Engeijo theater and have since stored it carefully in a clear file, so there are no stains or folds.
