A popular high school play about Aomori, Tohoku
This playful reimagining of “Moshidora”, the bestselling Japanese novel and film which applied Peter Drucker’s business theories to a high school baseball team, asks what if the manager of a high school baseball team called in an itako? Itako are mysterious female shamans in Aomori, in the far north of Tohoku. Performed by over 20 high school students, it won top prize at the 2012 National High School Theatre Contest. Performed without stage effects, set or props, since autumn 2011 it has toured evacuation shelters and many other locations in the Tohoku disaster zones.
