HIROSHIMA, Japan—In Hiroshima’s Alsok Hall on March 12, Shen Yun Performing Arts displayed China’s five-millennia-old culture to the audience, leaving them in awe.

One of the Shen Yun fans was Kiguchi Shingo, a renowned sculptor. Upon hearing about the show from his friend, he drove for three hours from Okayama to Hiroshima just to see the show.

“The performance was so glamorous,” said Kiguchi. “The girls’ performance was absolutely beautiful. Their arms and the gesture of their fingers were so soft and neat—pretty beyond words. The men’s dances were full of strength and vivacity. I could feel from them the spirit of classical Chinese dance. After attending today’s performance, I am deeply touched.”

Kiguchi, as an accomplished artist himself, noticed Shen Yun’s unique stage presentation and costumes.

“The colors of the costumes blended very well with the colors of the stage,” he said. “It has a Chinese taste to it. Together with the three-dimensional backdrops, the show is well presented.”

He was also surprised by the merge of Chinese and Western instruments in the live orchestra.

“The music from the blend of the Chinese and Western instruments came out very unique. It opened my ears and eyes.

“I think their bringing of a renaissance of traditional culture is very plausible and rare, especially when the show is done to a level in which the whole world praises. In this sense, Shen Yun is Chinese people’s treasure and pride.”
