Business Overview
Higashi Odori is a performance held by the Tokyo Shinbashi Association. Since it is held in May, it is regarded as a season word of late spring in Saijiki, and Shinbashi Enbujo (Chuo Ward, Tokyo) is likened to a large Japanese-style restaurant, and it is popular as a place to enjoy the dance of Shinbashi Geisha, the food of a Japanese-style restaurant and traditional Japanese culture. Three schools, Hanayagi, Nishikawa and Onoe, teach the dance of the geisha. In this year's 98 Higashi Odori, Jusuke HANAYAGI, the young head of the Hanayagi school, the largest school in Japan, took overall charge of directing and created the first Higashi Odori stage. The first half included Hinatsuru Sanbaso, Shikunshi, and intermission, and the second half included Genroku Hanami Odori, Natsu no Sanzari, Takao, Snow Fantasy, Wakanatsumi, Kojo, and the finale.
