Japanese comedic stage art introduced at Temple of Literature

The performance put on by two Japanese artists Ogasawara Tadashi and Ogasawara Hiroaki is expected to enthrall audiences through a display of interesting plays.

Visitors will also have the chance to enjoy an exhibition held at the Temple of Literature, displaying 20 Nohgaku masks created by Japanese craftsman Ogasawara Tadashi.

Participants will also be able to hold exchanges with Tadashi to gain a better understanding about the traditional Japanese art.

Kyogen is a form of comedy that mainly describes the daily life of ordinary people in the middle ages. Unlike Noh, most of the plays are performed without masks, with a universal humanity being depicted through laughter.

The event is part of activities to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Vietnam-Japan diplomatic relations this year.

A link for ticket registration will be updated on the website of the Embassy of Japan in Vietnam on May 4.

Foreigners excited to discover flower road in Hanoi

The blooming bauhinia variegata trees make many people think they are lost in the mountain of the Northwestern region. The bauhinia variegata flowers are conspicuous, white and purple, with five soft petals, featuring the typical beauty of the high mountain in the north. The Ban flower season starts in late February and lasts till April. When the flowers are blooming, they look like a fan. Although there are several colours, white and purple are the main colours. At the beginning of the flower season, many roads in Hanoi look more romantic and attractive. On weekends, many foreign visitors choose to call at Ciputra to watch bauhinia variegate blossoming. “We feel as if we get lost in a mountain in the northern highlands of Vietnam,” says Shachin, an Indian visitor and his wife. The Indian couple do not forget to capture an impressive moment right in Hanoi instead of travelling far up north. “We are very happy and l...
