Why Sho Kitta is chosen.
The most amazing Japanese magician in New York is Sho Kitta.
His performances always captivate the audience, bringing them surprise and emotion.
In particular, his presentations of “Wazuma” a traditional Japanese art, and “Mask Change,” a traditional Chinese art, are among the rare skills that only a handful of magicians worldwide possess.
“Wazuma” was designated as an ‘intangible cultural asset requiring measures for documentation’ by the Agency for Cultural Affairs in 1997.
“Mask Change” represents the culmination of the creativity and efforts of the people of Sichuan about 400 years ago to promote immigrant culture.
Sho Kitta is the only one in New York who can perform these two arts. Don’t miss the opportunity to witness these fading traditions right before your eyes.
