https://web-japan.org Many of Japan’s older classical dances, such as Noh with its slow and stately movements and the lively, dynamic Kabuki, remain very popular. But none are as popular as Nihon Buyo, created about 400 years ago by incorporating elements from older traditions. The art continued to grow and evolve though generations of teachers, and today there are around 120 different schools. All teach certain basic movements first, special techniques for moving the feet, hands and neck. We watch dancers as they practice, and hear from them how Nihon Buyo uniquely expresses the Japanese sense of beauty. #kabuki #noh #JapaneseTraditionalDance #OnoeKikunojo #hobbySee Less
