This beginner-friendly program includes a live performance by a professional dancer wearing a beautiful kimono, followed by a gentle workshop where you can try graceful movements using a folding fan. No need to wear a kimono — just bring your curiosity!
– What Is Nihon Buyo?
Nihon Buyo is a refined form of Japanese classical dance that originated in the Edo period. It tells stories through slow, controlled movements and elegant gestures — often described as “art through the body.” Each motion expresses emotion, narrative, and traditional aesthetics unique to Japan.
– Performance Highlight: The White Makeup Tradition
At the climax of the show, the dancer appears wearing shironuri, the white stage makeup used in traditional Japanese theater and dance. This style has been passed down for generations and adds an extra layer of beauty and authenticity to the performance.
– Try It Yourself
After the performance, you’ll be guided through simple and graceful fan movements. Even if you’ve never danced before, our experienced instructor will help you enjoy the experience with ease and joy.
– Photo Time with the Dancer
End your visit with a commemorative photo session with the performer in full kimono and makeup. You’ll also enjoy a welcome drink and have a chance to chat, creating a personal connection with this unique cultural experience.
