年に一回、我々上山田神楽保存会は上田市の老人ホーム「御所園」に獅子舞しに行きます。今年は108歳のおばさんの誕生日のお祝いでした。
108歳ですよ。明治生まれ。日露戦争のころに生まれた訳。元気で我々の一生懸命の獅子舞を見てくれました。感心しました。
皆様、いずれかは年を取って、恐らくこういう老人ホームに入るよね。今の内に訪ねて老人の方々に優しくしてあげるべきだと思いませんか?
Once a year, our Kamiyamada Okagura Preservation Group drives to Ueda City to perform at the Goshoen old folks home. This time we helped celebrate the birthday of a 108-year old lady.
108 years old!
That means she was born during the Meiji era. During the Russo-Japanese war. And she very lively watched our full-out lion dance performance.
Hey everybody, we're all going to get old and perhaps eventually wind up in an old-folks home some day. Don't you think it's a good idea to visit one and be nice to the elderly now while we have a chance?
