The interview begins with Haruna talking about growing-up bored in Iizuna, unaware of the importance of the local mountain, before we delve a little into Iizuna Shugen and its mischievous Iizuna Saburo Tengu, taiko and more. Haruna discusses her time living and performing in London – where she hobnobbed with cockneys, worked the bar mitzvah circuit, performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and stumbled into taiko performance – before returning to Japan and discovering her old home of Iizuna wasn’t as boring as she once thought. Anything but one dimensional - a comment that will make more sense having listened to the episode - I think you’ll agree she is rather, a wondermensional woman.. You can enjoy Haruna’s performances with the Iizuna Gongen Daiko and as the beautifully costumed Iizuna Saburo Tengu in the videos below. Both pieces are also composed by Haruna.
