"This festival was started for those who study Japanese language and they started learning Japanese song and drama. So, we decided to provide some chance to show their outcome. It started ten years ago in a small way but it created many players," said an organiser, Nara Hibboku Kokuri.
It is basically a cultural exchange programme between two countries. The organisers said that this festival helped in bringing the Indian and Japanese culture together.
The artists donned long dragon attires and performed to an ancient Japanese folklore.
The two-hour musical extravaganza left the audience captivated by the sheer beauty of the animated performance.
