The apprentices made curry from scratch and filled the tables with vegetable dishes made with fresh produce they harvested themselves. Of course, they also served up Sado&#8217;s famous &#8220;Okesa Kaki&#8221; persimmons. We had such a fun meal together. Most of our apprentices are around 20 years old and so were many of the Shiki Theatre Company performers. They also had an apprenticeship period in their training, so everyone had a lot in common. Everyone enjoyed talking to each other and it was a very fruitful exchange for all involved.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_0800.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11290 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_0800-680x453.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Erika Ueda\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_11291\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_0818.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-11291\" class=\"wp-image-11291 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/www.kodo.or.jp\/blog\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/10\/IMG_0818-680x453.jpg\" alt=\"Photo: Erika Ueda\" width=\"640\" height=\"426\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-11291\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Shiki Theatre Company members have a go at playing the big drum, o-daiko.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Shiki Theatre Company will perform on Nov. 1 at Amusement Sado for the children of Sado and our apprentices will help them out with the load-in and load-out.<br \/>\nThank you for visiting us, Shiki Theatre Company!
