Tokyo gala marks 75th anniversary of PRC founding

Japanese dancers Kayo Kishikawa and Ukon Takafuji portrayed classical beauties from China and Japan, gracefully dancing to the accompaniment of taiko drums and the traditional Chinese musical instrument pipa. The integration of dances from both countries with their respective musical instruments created a distinctive charm.

One of the most surprising elements for the audience was the specially designed stage set featuring two large painting frames, depicting Chinese and Japanese landscape paintings. As the performance began, the two dancers stepped out from the paintings. When the dance concluded, they returned to the paintings, becoming silhouettes — capturing the beauty of Eastern aesthetics and the emotional connection between China and Japan.

The gala was organized by the Union of Chinese Residing in Japan, drawing an audience of over 100 distinguished guests along with about 1,300 local attendees.
