an offering tea
ceremony and deliver a lecture. His lecture is entitled "Chado Mushakoji
Senke and offering tea ceremony". Mr. Soryu Kizu VI is a leading disciple

IKKOKUDOU
VOICE ILLUSION TOUR 2004 IN USA
Ikkoku-do is the name of the most famous and competent ventriloquial
group in Japan. It is composed of Ikkoku Tamaki, the leader,
and his various unique dolls. To tell you the truth, Ikkoku
is the only one who can speak. He can speak in many different
voices. Ikkoku-do reinvents ventriloquism. Ventriloquism has
not been the same in Japan since Ikkoku-do came onto the scene
about a year ago.
His highly inventive, groundbreaking acts quickly earned him
acknowledgement as a master craftsman in the vaudeville art.
( Daily Yomiuri )
Through stage shows and national appearances on Japanese television
Ikkoku-do is seen by audience throughout Japan.
Besides using ventriloquial figures, Ikkoku-do acts out many
different roles, using distant voice technique to imitate various
sounds.
