Combining traditional Japanese theatre, lion dance, music, origami, magic, and storytelling, Yasu will guide audiences to the enchanting land of Japan. He will share excerpts from a Japanese traditional folktale with origami, a Japanese traditional vaudeville act with the playing of a traditional flute, and a Japanese lion dance. Yasu’s programs include stories that he performs with lots of audience interaction and participation.
Inspired by the movie "Patch Adams", Yasu came from Japan to the United States to become a professional hospital clown. Earning a Master of Fine Arts in Theatre for Young Audiences, he also graduated from the Chavez Studio of Magic, the world's most prestigious magic school. He beautifully imbues the essence of traditional Japanese culture into his magic and storytelling.
