Hachinohe City Public Hall （Aomori）

Derived from Kabuki, Japanese dance has three elements: rhythmical dance, soft dance, and gesture, with the addition of dance by women.
In the modern era, it became independent from Kabuki, and many professional Nihon buyo dancers were born and became active. This refined art form, in which one can enjoy not only the beauty of the dance and music but also the narrative, has attracted many people and created a major trend in the traditional performing arts.
This year, the "Japanese Dance Caravan," which brings this rich world of Japanese dance to all over Japan, will come to Aomori!
A total of 80 people will gather in Aomori for this performance, including leading Japanese dancers, first-rate Japanese music performers, and staff members who will provide costumes and props to liven up the stage. A special one-day-only performance with live music will be presented.
No prior knowledge is necessary. Rakugo storyteller Katsura Yoshibo, who has a deep knowledge of traditional performing arts, will explain the highlights of the show in a fun way.
The gorgeous costumes and sets, beautiful dances, and emotional and comical stories will draw you in just by watching. We hope you will experience the glittering world of Japanese dance!
