    Cute, Tasty, Unmissable: Sweets Inspired by the ‘Sacred Deers’ of Nara
    Nara (奈良) is considered a sacred place for wagashi (和菓子; traditional Japanese confectionery), and the most conveniently accessible area for transportation is the centre around Nara Station. When searching for sweets there, the Shinroku (神鹿; Sacred Deer) inevitably commands attention. We introduce three famous confections inspired by the deer, which have long been revered as messengers of the gods by the people, particularly associated with Kasuga Taisha (春日大社) Shrine. Why not share some good fortune as a souvenir?

    The Miracle Remedy Bestowed by the mystical creature, Kappa: ‘Kappago’
    When the weather is warm and sunny, we long to escape to somewhere cool—perhaps the sea or a river. You might just have a fateful encounter near the water. And that encounter might be with a Kappa (河童). If you should meet one, you'll definitely want to make friends. After all, they possess a secret, miraculous medicine. If you're lucky, they might give you the remedy or teach you how to make it. The medicine is called Kappago (河童膏), a legendary miracle cure directly from the Kappa, said to be effective for bruises, sprains, and fractures.

    Unlock the Magic of Kabuki: Fan Tips for First-Timers
    The film Kokuho (国宝), which features a Kabuki (歌舞伎) actor as its protagonist, is creating a real buzz in Japan. Many people have been stunned, myself included, by the remarkable feat of its stars, Yoshizawa Ryo (吉沢亮) and Yokohama Ryusei (横浜流星), actually performing as Onnagata (女方; male actors who specialise in female roles). I was completely captivated by their passionate performances! I've heard many voices saying that watching this film has made them want to see Kabuki for themselves. However, it seems there are still a few perceived hurdles… So, as a fellow devotee of traditional performing arts here at WARAKU (和樂) Web, I'd like to offer some truly unsolicited advice! I hope this article gives a gentle nudge that results in more people finding themselves, suddenly, at the theatre!
