Can you tell about it more? I didn't know we have it in our country too... Also, I'm happy you were here^^ I hope you have many good memories from our country! If not, I hope I can one day help you create beautiful memories!
If you don't know Ichikawa Ebizo, you *need* to watch his interpretation of Star Wars in Kabuki style. Please. Even if you are a Star Trek fan. It's *awesome.*
A very thoughtful introduction and comparison! The relationship between kabuki buyō and nihon buyō is indeed very deep and complex. For example, many of the most important kabuki actors of modern times (the Danjūrō, Kōshirō and Shōroku families) descend from the dance master Fujima Kan'emon II (1840 - 1925). And while many classic dances began in the kabuki stage (Musume Dōjō-ji, Fuji Musume, Yoshinoyama…), other such as Renjishi had the opposite evolution. Most recently, the popular onnagata actor Bandō Tamasaburō V has been performing old dances from the Kamigata jiuta repertoire on the main kabuki stages, including the Kabuki-za in Tokyo and Minami-za in Kyoto.
I study in the Hananomoto ryuuha in Tōkyō! My master Hananomoto Kotobuki is very welcoming, even to a foreigner like me! 😊 Thank you Shogo for sharing Nihon buyō with more people! One day I want to see Kabuki at the Minami-za!!
where i used to live every year there would be a festival of japan, basically a way for everyone localy to explore and experience aspects of japanese culture it was pretty cool the last year i was there they had some Nihon Buyo dancers which was beautiful, there was a fireworks display at the end of the 2 day event i went every year. we had other festivls from across the world but the festival of japan was always my favourite, my second favourite was the festival of india, both were so colourfull, vibrant and energitic i loved the atmosphear.
Ok so I tried to speed up the video and tbh I like your slow speed best, it's such a relaxed style and I'm gonna be a rebel and enjoy your slow smooth speed. Hope you are doing well and feeling ok!
Hi Shogo! I'm glad to watch your video, you are an important point of view on UA-cam of Japanese culture. I'm a painter of Accademia Albertina, the academy of fine arts of Turin, Italy and I'm really interest of Japanese painting and printing. Can you make a video about Japanese painting? Not only Sumi-e or Ukiyo-e, but also on the other styles of Japanese painting and printing? I'm really interest in that but I didn't find so much information about, also I bought some manuals about, but I want a Japanese point of view on his own culture, many of my manuals about are written by Italian or German academics. I hope to watch your video about some day :D Also I hope you are healthy Shogo and your illness doesn't make your life to painful. You are a sunny and kind person, I love to watch your videos Shogo, they relax me and make me feel good and a little more informed about Japanese culture. Today I learn something new about Japanese theatre. Thank you Shogo. I hope for you the best.
This was fascinating! I love learning about art that wasn't closed off to the rich... What a fascinating history. Reminds me a little of Indian classical dance!
Brother your content is simply fantastic! You are a great and clear speaker and completely fluent. Thank you for your contributions, I’ll be here for when you hit 1 million subs!
I was gifted a 28th Birthday Kabuki performance of The Wisteria Maiden at the Japan America Theater in Los Angeles, California (USA) 1985. A quick search revealed this venue is no longer active.
So, Nihon-Buyo is kind of like a traditional Japanese version of Ballet Dancing? Ballet is also about telling a story through dancing but without lines or lyrics after all.
Excellent video Shogo San. Can you a video explaining the different types of traditional Japanese dolls. I’m especially interested in the hina or ningyo dolls
Since they seem to have different roots what is the relationship if any between Nihon-buyo and the Geisha (Maiko/Geiko) dances performed today : the same? similar? completely different? BTW Sadly, Kyoto's "MAIKO THEATER" has recently closed down leaving an empty performance space in the heart of the city.

The two main Japanese traditional dance cultures are surely Kabuki and Nihon-buyo, and you might have seen some performances before. However, even many Japanese people misunderstand that the only difference between the two is that “Kabuki is for men and Nihon-buyo is for women.” These two arts actually share many pieces and seem alike, but this explanation is a bit too sketchy. So today, I will first explain about the history of both Kabuki and Nihon-buyo, then talk about the 3 main differences between the two stage arts. This video is especially recommended to those who are interested in Japanese stage art culture, and you will surely be able to enjoy watching them even more. If you’ve ever seen Kabuki or Nihon-buyo somewhere before, please let me know in the comments when and where you had the occasion to see it!
I learned in high school that "kabuki" is spelled "歌舞伎" or "song, dance, skill." Is this an after ateji? This is the first time I have heard that there was a verb "kabuku." I looked it up and it's true! 傾くis read "kabuku!" I wonder when did the kanji "歌舞伎" begin to be used... I hope to learn a Japanese dance one day... it's so beautiful...
I liked the comparison between kabuki and nihon buyo. Not only did you compare both arts, but also you gave a short but clear description about each one and their historical background. And in some way, I can relate it to Occident cultures about why women were banned to both sing and act in public (and those who played women roles were also young men, but I think they had the same issues like young men in kabuki). Say, have you watched an old movie named "The Story of the Last Chrysanthemum" (Zangiku monogatari)?, the director is Kenji Mizoguchi, and even though it lasts around 2 hours and a half, it is a beautiful movie. What I can't understand is why or how they know that the kabuki performers are either great or mediocre, which is part of the plot and the protagonist's quest.
Those poor women being trapped inside a house their whole lives, can't imagine living that way 😬. Tho makes me wonder what would happen if the Daimiyo would have a son. Would the son also be trapped in the house as a hostage 🤔🤔🤔 or would he be sepperated from his mother an be free to do as he pleased with the father
First time I saw Japanese dancing was in Chilean TV with an old American movie: The Teahouse of the August Moon (1956). Broad comedy about American soldiers intent on teaching democracy to Japanese villagers after WWII, but being conquered instead by Japanese culture. Marlon Brando plays the main Japanese character. Yep. A lot can be said about that movie, but there is a dazzling scene: a local geisha performs a dance in which she changes her kimono on stage three times. That dance has intrigued me since first watching the movie. Is it an actual traditional dance, is there some real meaning to it, was it just a Hollywood creation?
Hi Shogo. Do you want to do a movie review of Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence by Nagisa Ōshima? Otherwise thank you Shogo, for telling us another storytelling of Japanese culture.
Buyo (舞踊) is an umbrella term for all traditional Japanese dance the bu part is also pronounced mai (舞) and the yo part is also pronounced odori (踊). Mai and Odori are the 2 main categories of dance. Mai, as you’ve already said covers Noh, bugaku, and the dances of shrine maidens. Odori covers things like folk dances and kabuki. Like you said it’s a relatively recent term, being coined sometime in the 20th century.
I have a question good sir, how do you practice Kendo at home by yourself? The meditative aspects of practicing Kendo are amazing, but how can you practice it at home? I have no dojo near me but I have 15 acres of forest
Well organized and informative video. Thank you. I would like to suggest that you pay attention to your intonation. It doesn’t sound natural. Too monotonous.

Not only seen, I have practiced Nihon Buyo for some time in Warsaw, Poland and loved it!
Well i really am embarrased when i dance especially infront of people but maybe ill try it some day.

Wow it’s actually interesting for me as a Japanese too !
I’ve never learned that in school

That comment was for how hard he works for us and I love his videos.
@@shinronin7312 oh lol i meant to me its just like im watching him for the first time.
I feel like the more of these videos he makes, the closer Shogo gets to becoming some sort of sage. I love it.

Thank You 🙏🏽 this was amazing to learn and as a dancer myself, I am very curious about learning Nihon-buyo 🤗🙏🏽
I have seen a Kabuki performance once in Warsaw, Poland. The group that performed was from Sakata i believe. Totally fell in love with it!
I recently saw your channel, literally it's totally of my kind 😃
本当面白い文化ですね！
Excellent video Shogo San. Can you a video explaining the different types of traditional Japanese dolls. I’m especially interested in the hina or ningyo dolls
That would be a really good idea! I’ll try to make a video as soon as possible😊

BTW Sadly, Kyoto's "MAIKO THEATER" has recently closed down leaving an empty performance space in the heart of the city.
Dance style performed by geishas in Kyoto is called Kyo-mai.
One of Nihon-buyo styles is Mai, and Kyo-mai is one of variations of Mai.
I love the idea of dance as an offering/ prayer.
Thank you again for a very interesting video! 😊💜

Yes I will soon in the future✨

just in time!
in nihon buto the dojouji musume dance is danced and also the wisteria musume which are also performances in Kabuki
So youre telling me they banned dancing because people were getting their freak on? Sounds like country wide footloose to me!
Hi Shogo, I Hope You Also Discuss About Bunraku/Ningyo Joruri. Thanks And Stay Safe And May You Be Well. Love From Philippines.
I tested Nihon-buyo in Kyoto when I studied there for 6 months in 2009
Africans also use dancing as an offering. To honour a person, or to worship God.
I have never seen kabuki in person, but I have seen the rock band KISS in concert. They were inspired by kabuki.

hello Shogo
Hello there I have question do i need to cover my tattoos when i am on holiday in Japan?
Buyo isn't the term that goes back in history and styles; that term is mai. Mai refers to the dances of kagura, bugaku, even noh.
Thank you for the love. Please look into adding some gagaku to the arts you introduce on the channel.
Buyo (舞踊) is an umbrella term for all traditional Japanese dance the bu part is also pronounced mai (舞) and the yo part is also pronounced odori (踊). Mai and Odori are the 2 main categories of dance. Mai, as you’ve already said covers Noh, bugaku, and the dances of shrine maidens. Odori covers things like folk dances and kabuki. Like you said it’s a relatively recent term, being coined sometime in the 20th century.
6:45-7:42 Just a time stamp for research.
I have a question good sir, how do you practice Kendo at home by yourself? The meditative aspects of practicing Kendo are amazing, but how can you practice it at home? I have no dojo near me but I have 15 acres of forest
I do not train in kendo, but for iaido I always simply swing my sword (suburi) for gaining muscles and checking my grip (tenouchi)!
Is a way for someone that was born in Japan but was raised in USA move back to Japan and and become citizen again?
Cool meow
Shogo, can you recommend any books about feudal Japan?
i have a question, what is the difference of iaido and iaito?
Is there any difference between Nihon-buyo and geishas dances ?
Well organized and informative video. Thank you. I would like to suggest that you pay attention to your intonation. It doesn’t sound natural. Too monotonous.

If 日本舞踊 is for samurai's wives to play, does your wife do it
If your second language is English. Congratulations English has some very weird rules and you speak it very fluently.
