Musical Theater
Perhaps the most notable aspect of Katogi’s work is his unique narrative experience called “Oto-Mai-Gatari” or “Music-Dance-Story”.
Blending elements of traditional folk music, dance, and Kyogen theater (Katogi studied with Senzaburo Shigeyama sensei for over ten years), Katogi’s original narratives are at once comedic and ephemeral, exploring contemporary topics while immersed in the world of folklore.
