A Day of Plays, Praying, and Eating

  I saw a new spring Kabuki play at the Asakusa Kōkaidō Theater. The traditional sketches and dances, including the Fuji Musume (“Wisteria Maiden”) dance, were truly wonderful.
  After that, I made a small pilgrimage to the nearby temple, Sensōji. It was so crowded that I could barely manage to pray.
  Once I finished praying, I visited the nostalgic Kanaya Bar and enjoyed some drinks and dishes.
  It really was a day of “trinity”
—seeing plays, praying, and eating out.
