She is also a student and member of Kabuki Academy, where she has studied and performed classical Japanese dance for over fifteen years. The name of her blog is very interesting, as Hanamichi connotes two meanings. One, it consists of a raised platform or runway that leads from the main stage, through the audience, to the back of the theater, and two, it is also a reference to the tea fields and the lovely blossoms of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. The name itself says so much about what the blog owner loves.
