3/21 (Sat), 3/22 (Sun)、
イタリア・トリノの”Mercato Centrale Torino”にて開催された
“Gaya Gaya – Japanese Culture Festival 2026”に参加しました。
I had the opportunity to participate in the “Gaya Gaya – Japanese Culture Festival 2026,”
held at Mercato Centrale Torino in Turin, Italy, on March 21 and 22.
この会場があるPorta Palazzo地区は、ヨーロッパ最大級の青空市場を有する、
トリノでも特に活気に満ちたエリア。
正賀流 創流60周年記念大会を終えた翌日に東京へ戻り
翌々日には羽田から出発するという、
なかなかハードなスケジュールでした。
リハーサル前日にミラノ・マルペンサ空港に降り立った後は、
自身の刀をはじめ、ワークショップ用の木刀など大きな荷物を抱えていた為、
電車ではなくバスを手配しトリノへ向かいました。
The Porta Palazzo district, where the venue is located, is one of the most vibrant areas in Turin, home to one of the largest open-air markets in Europe.
After finishing the 60th Anniversary Performance of the Seiga-ryu kenbu school,
I returned to Tokyo the next day and departed from Haneda for Italy the following day, making for quite a demanding schedule.
I arrived in Italy the day before the rehearsal.
After landing at Milan Malpensa Airport, I had to travel with large luggage, including my sword and wooden swords for the workshop.
Because of this, I arranged a bus instead of taking the train and made my way to Turin.

今回のお話をいただいてからのおよそ4ヶ月間。
正賀流の創流60周年記念大会をはじめ、
同時期に重なるいくつかの出演や企画がある中で、
新たな作品のクリエイションも含め連日高い集中力を維持しながら準備を進めることは
私にとって大きな挑戦でもありました。
Over the approximately four months since I received this opportunity,
I had to manage several performances and projects taking place at the same time, including the 60th Anniversary Performance of the Seiga-ryu Kenbu school.
Preparing for all of this, while also creating new works and maintaining a high level of focus every day, was a great challenge for me.
ここでの多くの方々との出会いは、
私にとって大きな刺激となりました。
間違いなく、今後の進むべき方向性を示してくれたと感じています。
Meeting so many wonderful artists here was a great source of inspiration for me.
I truly feel that it has shown me the direction I should pursue moving forward.

スタッフの皆さんと。
With the staff members.
心よりお礼申し上げます。

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all the staff who supported me in every way,

Thank you very much.

Tra il pubblico che ha assistito alla mia esibizione e tutte le persone che ho incontrato a Torino,

Grazie a questi incontri, continuerò a impegnarmi ancora di più per migliorarmi.
Grazie di cuore a tutti per il vostro caloroso sostegno.
Spero di potervi incontrare di nuovo presto.
