DESCRIPTION:350 years ago\, the town of Shitara\, in Aichi Prefecture\, pro
 mised the Goddess of Mercy that they would teach their children to perform
  kabuki in her honor if she spared the town from the wrath of a vengeful s
 hogun. Shitara is still around\, so the Goddess clearly kept her promise. 
 Accordingly\, for the last 350 years\, the children of the village (curren
 tly represented by Damine Elementary School)\, have dilligently learned an
 d performed kabuki plays. This January\, as part of an every-three-years t
 radition\, the children of Damine Elementary School are travelling to Illi
 nois to stage a kabuki play. If you live near either Arlington Heights or 
 Urbana-Champaign\, don't miss this rare opportunity to see one of Japan's 
 most beautiful art forms performed by some unique practitioners.\n\nKranne
