TOKYO—Divine Performing Arts' Chinese Spectacular gave two shows on Feb. 12 and 13 in Tokyo and attracted a huge audience. Mr. Kosai Yutaka, Japan Tax Commission Chairman, watched the show on the Feb. 12. Mr Kosai thought the show was moving and commented that China's current economical development focuses only on materialism and lacks spirituality.
"The programs are very touching. The modernization of China seems to improve its economy, but I feel there is a need to reassess the values of traditional culture," Mr. Kosai said.
Mr. Kosai is also a senior advisor of the Center for Economic Research, and a former President of the Economic and the Social Research Institute.
Being an economist, Kosai had a unique perspective of the show, "Realistically, materialism alone is not going to work. The economy will be better developed when spirituality blends with people's lives. Nowadays economy is everything in China, and this wipes out people's spiritual lives. From now on, the objective of China's economy should be geared toward focusing on individual demands."
Three of Kosai's colleagues also came to the show. Ms. Tegawa Mihoko loved the Mongolian Bowl Dance and thought it was brilliant.
Ms. Nakajima Yukiko said her favorite was The Risen Lotus Flower, adding, "It's a very sad story that someone died because of the persecution, but the lotus dance was so beautiful when the spirit goes to heaven."
