No Kengo photos so far because 1) it rained in the morning so no walking 2) I went to see, finally, "Kokuho (国宝)a Japanese movie which opened in Georgia this weekend.
It was a gorgeous, spectacular, dramatic, cinematographic, historical, artistic, etc. movie in the Kabuki world about two Kabuki actors and their lives. It's long, almost 3 hours, and those who need but don't like subtitles may find it tiring. The most amazing thing is that the two main actors are NOT kabuki actors and had to train for 1.5 years. Simply amazing.
I missed the title screen and also I didn't want to infringe on copyright, so the photos are the Toho company logo title and one early scene from the movie.
