The 12th Nagauta Kinekatsukai National Competition was held in the Kabukiza Theatre. Hiroko Koshino is an accredited Nagauta performer who received the name of Kineya Katsuroku-jo.
At the national competition, in addition to performing “Kanjincho”, she produced the stage background for the Kinekatsukai’s traditional Nagauta medley “Shokyokushu”. Famous Nagauta songs were performed with the background of Sumi ink drawings she painted while taking inspiration from each song.
