Hisanari ISOMURA was a “household figure” on the
Japanese news scene. During his distinguished career with NHK (the
Japanese Broadcasting Corporation), Isomura-san worked first as a
correspondent, then anchorman and bureau head and ultimately General
Managing Director of the Tokyo Head Office of NHK. He spoke to us
on the topic of the changing role of women in French and Japanese
societies. |

For the January luncheon, fellow CWAJ members (with the
assistance of some equally talented friends) organized a lecture
concert which started with nagauta, the traditional music
that accompanies Japanese Buyou dancing. They introduced the
yokobue (transverse bamboo flute) and the Ko-tsuzumi (small
hand drum), both core instruments in the nagauta hayashi. |
