Ideal Movements are NaturalThe school of Japanese dancing Onoe-ryu was founded by Onoe Kikugoro as the first Iemoto. Onoe Bokusetsu is the 3rd Iemoto. He studied under the first Iemoto, Onoe Kikunojo when he was 9 and at 21, succeeded the name Onoe Kikunojo and simultaneously succeeded the Iemoto as the 3rd generation. Two years later, he choreographed and directed ”Azumaodori” at Tokyo Shinbashi, ”Kamogawa odori” at Pontocho Kyoto, and continued directing and choreographing dances as well as performing himself. He has been actively performing abroad as well as domestically, visiting France, United States, Spain, and China.” |
The sophisticated ”flow”There are many schools of Japanese dancing. And each school has its own features. When we asked about the most prominent feature of Onoe-ryu, the answer was ”the flow”. |
Applying rationalityNakata asked, ”With Japanese dancing, what do you learn first? The movements? Manners?” |
