 In fact, Iwami-Kagura was performed three times during the Japan-India Friendship year in 2007 at Mumbai and Chennai. They were well accepted by many enthusiastic audiences with standing ovations and calling for an anchor. It was overwhelmed and indescribable positive responses at all stages.

 Based on this precious experience and acceptance by Indian people, we have planned the Iwami-kagura performance tour to New Delhi, capital city, and Chennai, major southern city.
