A Word from Festival
Director
Kunio Sugihara |
"Go to Extremes in Winter!"
In the world of haiku, festivals are a season word for summer. In
my mind too, they are a summer thing. A festival in winter sounds
somewhat awkward. For one thing, it's cold in winter. That is the
biggest problem for me. In summer you can easily take off your clothes
and get rowdy, but in winter you canÅft. Unless you have a lot of
energy, you cannot beat the cold winter. Wait a sec, then, wouldnÅft
that mean that festivals in winter are actually even more full of
energy? You need to be extremely energetic to knockdown the barriers
of coldness. Hey, festivals in winter must be pretty hot then, yes?
YES!!
All right, this is the start of the Extreme Summit. In the cold
weather, please come over to our theater full of extreme, hot energy.
I am looking forward to seeing you there.
