This performance is an introduction to NIHONBUYO (Traditional Japanese Dance) in collaboration with the online game "Touken Ranbu ONLINE." You can experience Traditional Japanese Dance while having fun.
The appeal of "NIHONBUYO"
Under the guidance of a professional performer, you will discover the appeal of NIHONBUYO together with the characters from the game, Touken Danshi HIGEKIRI and HIZAMARU.
"Tsunayakata" (Tsuna’s Mansion)
Watanabe no Tsuna, a warlord from around the 10th century, fought a demon and cut off the demon's arm with his "Higekiri" sword. However, the demon appears disguised as Tsuna's aunt and tries to get its arm back.
The movements of NIHONBUYO are presented in a simple form in the suodori style, where the dancer performs in a kimono and hakama without the full elaborate costumes or wigs typically associated with their roles.
"Tsuchigumo" (The Spirit of Spider)
A sick warlord from around the 10th century, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, is visited one after another by mysterious visitors who try to approach Yorimitsu with deceptive and hostile intent, but their true identity is the spirit of the spider. Yorimitsu confronts it with his "Hizamaru" sword.
A new piece was created for this performance based on a classical music piece, Nagauta "Tsuchigumo trilogy."
What is NIHONBUYO?
"NIHONBUYO" is a traditional Japanese performing art that originated from Kabuki. Since the late 19th century, many new dance pieces have been created, allowing the art form to continue evolving.
