Dancing with the words

The dancer 90enne has blossomed and became the bestselling poetry. Toyo Shibata blossomed to life after being forced from back pain to stop his activities of traditional Japanese dancer. Her son advised her to translate the emotions and thoughts on paper so far expressed by the body, "not to feel frustrated." And in a society just frustrated and oppressed of all obligations of social and economic crisis more than the story (in fact, twenty years), the rationale of Toyo has begun to foster hope and pleasure to young and old (Japan is the country with the highest percentage of old in the world, according to Italy).

Even in a nation of readers (the Japanese are still the most avid newspaper readers), even the poems are in crisis (10 thousand copies, representing a success in Italy a few authors than a thousand), but those have passed the one million Toyo Shibata and half and expects the new collection for the 100th anniversary of the author, in June.

The verses of the simple and direct dancer who decided to put into words the dance of his thoughts and emotions, have proved a panacea for depression spread of a nation has gone from a quasi-divine empire (as the emperor was considered the Tenno until the end of World War II) to the nuclear free-kick, to the rescue, industrial and financial, to stagnation, not only economic: "We are all equally free to dream," writes Toyo Shibata.

And an entire country is following its kind, secular and magical piper, who shows the way to a better fate.
