Story
Ryukyu Buyo was created in the era when Okinawa flourished as the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was the classical dance forms of that time that laid the foundation for a tradition that continues to this day. The various styles of Ryukyu Buyo include “Rojinodori” old men’s dances and “Wakashuodori” young men’s dances, but it is the “Onnaodori” women’s dances, with their graceful movements and glamorous costumes, that are regarded as ‘the flower of Ryukyu Buyo’. Onnaodori is imbued with a unique aesthetic sense, in which a burning spirit hidden within the extremely restrained movements and gestures is sublimated into dance.
Accompaniment is provided by the three-stringed sanshin, the koto, drums, and flutes. Why has this tradition been carried on for so many generations? We explore how ‘Chimugukuru – Sincerity’, the soul of Okinawan culture, has been inherited through dance.
