Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater Episode 1: ‘Sharing an Umbrella’
The Kyoto Bank Senryu Theater series began in 2014, with a total of 11 episodes aired.
In Episode 1, “Sharing an Umbrella,” a couple stands under a single umbrella in the rain, each gently tilting it toward the other so they don’t get wet.
The rhyming words nureteru (getting wet) and horeteiru (being in love) match the visuals nicely, and the two’s endearingly shy behavior is just wonderful.
