Zach awry in Japan

30 May 2010 Exposing the Kids to Theatre

On our trip to Kobe last Golden Week we went to a little amusement park on top of a mountain, which will be further explored in an upcoming post. Here I just want to share these shots of Genbo because they’re so precious. Because it was Golden Week and the place was packed, there were live shows all day. The two we took in were a clown show and a Shinkenja (Power-Rangers clone) show. These were of course completely boring for me, but I loved watching Genbo’s face go through all sorts of transformations, from gleeful to intent to semi-scared, and then back to gleeful again.

Japanese clownsThey were, I have to admit, pretty good

If only Genbo concentrated so hard when I try to explain something important…

Pure, unadultureated joyFunny, he doesn’t look like that when I play shakuhachi

Next came the Shinkenja, which Genbo picked up a thorough knowledge of despite the fact that we never watch these shows at our house. Here they are using the same sword as the one that he received for his fifth birthday, pictured at the end of this post. (Zoe got scared during this show and had to be taken away by mommy, although that didn’t stop her from stating her preference for the pink one.)

Good defeating evil(as always)

Literally a nail-biter for Genbo

Finally, I had to insert one cute shot of Zoe. This one is out in front of the Suma Aquarium.
