I had the pleasure of attending the 2010 Classical Japanese Dance Recital by Hanayagi Dance Academy today (Sunday, February 28th). Women and children, young and old, entertained a large crowd at the Asian American Cultural Center on Jollyville Road in Austin.
Below are some pictures from the event. For more pictures, go to my Flickr page.

The Hanayagi Dance Academy is directed by Rokumizu Hanayagi (Chizuko Matsumoto). If you’re interested in learning traditional Japanese dance or folk dance, you can contact Matsumoto-san via e-mail (hanayagi [at] earthlink [dot] com). You can also contact her through the Asian American Cultural Center.

I’m back! It has been a long time since I’ve added any posts, mainly due to work consuming so much of my time. But I managed to make it out to tonight’s Thursday Night Manga Meetup with the Austin Anime Meetup Group. Lots of cool people showed up tonight and shared their manga. A few aspiring manga-ka were also there, drawing and showing off their skills.
Be sure to join us next month, or show up to one of the anime nights scheduled between now and then.
