Business Overview
A live performance of Jiutamai, a jiuta dance performed by Wakashizuki Yamamura, a Japanese dancer, and Togaku Azuma, a sumi-ga painter called a modern ukiyo-e artist “Bokuga, ink painting”. The theme of the play is "Kannawa Kanawa," a classical Japanese dance based on Noh. The jiuta jiuta performance, the key to connecting the two, was performed by young talent Yuji Kikuo. In the world of Japanese dance, which rarely invites directors from outside, this performance invites the genius Wakagiefu F. Wakagi to direct and challenge to present a classical piece from a different perspective than the past. By using the unique place of Noh stage in Kabukicho, the biggest entertainment district in the East, as the venue, the passion of the artists who are trying to create the expression that can only be done in this place can be felt, and it became an exciting Japanese dance performance that has never been seen before.
