FUKUOKA, Japan—The performance by Shen Yun Performing Arts Touring Company in Japan’s southern port city, Fukuoka, on May 1, earned enthusiastic applause from an excited audience. Many audience members lingered in FuKuoKa SunPalace Big Hall after the performance to buy Shen Yun albums and DVDs.
Ms. Hisayo Hama, a Japanese dance performer, was one of them. She said with a big smile, “We don’t have performances like Shen Yun in Japan. I am indeed fortunate to be able to see such a program. The performers transferred those touching [stories] into art and presented them to the audience. It is touching and inspiring.”
Ms. Hama showed her great admiration for Shen Yun’s efforts to recover the divinely inspired culture. “I worship the divinely inspired culture very much. That’s why I came to see the show. Ordinary Japanese people, like me, worship gods. Only because of the blessings of gods and our ancestors can we safely live until now. So I came to see the show in a sublime mood, and I was very touched.”
