Bringing Lion Power to an Old Folks Home

109歳。

明治生まれやで。

そんな方のお誕生日お祝いで私ども上山神楽保存会は上田市の老人ホーム「御所苑へお出かけました。

私がオヤジになって老人施設に入っていて、自分の誕生日の為に獅子舞があればうれしい。

その109歳のお祖母さんも喜んでくれたようです。目が笑っていました。

109 years old.

That means being born around the turn of LAST century!

My fellow members of the Kamiyamada Kagura lion dance troupe paid a visit to the Goshoen old folks home in nearby Ueda City to help celebrate the birthday of a 109 year old lady.

When I get old and end up in an old folks home, I'd sure be happy if a lion dance performance were held for my birthday.

This 109 year old lady seemed pretty happy, too. I could see her joy in her eyes.
