Wives Tales

Overview

"Wives Tales" draws on the countless histories embedded in the rice fields of the Tonami Plains, where the winds carry the footsteps of the past.
At an open-air theatre built over the rice fiends of Hosono in Johana, the performers evoke the true strength of the wives, with the help of the rice field gods.
Food stalls and other entertainment were available from two hours before the performance for the audience to enjoy as the sun set.
