On April 12-13, 1958 at Koyasan in Little Tokyo, a hogaku (koten Japanese music and dance) show drew a crowd.
I spent those years very busily until leaving Los Angeles in the fall of 1977.
Fujima Kansuma, Wakayagi Hisami, Bando Mitsuhiro, Fujima Chisee, and many other dancers enlivened the Los Angeles hogaku scene.
However, until around 2000, the masters who had built the hogaku world were still healthy and continued their activities.
However, with the aging of performers and other factors, the Los Angeles hogaku world continued to decline.
