Business Overview

This is a four-part concert series in which Ryukyu classical music and Ryukyu dance are performed in various small spaces in Tokyo. Performances depicting the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter were performed in a minimal composition consisting of one Uta sanshin performer and one dancer, and were enjoyed by changing venues, performances, and dancers. Ryukyu classical music and Ryukyu dance are usually performed by several people in theaters, but by performing them in a small space with a minimal structure, we tried to create a special feeling and convey the essence and charm of the music to the audience to the maximum extent. In order to make it easy for first-time viewers to understand, the program is explained with historical and cultural background. [Performers] Utasansen Yasuki UCHIMA (Vol. 1-4) Dance Nobuaki Ohama (Vol. 1), Hiroaki Taguchi (Vol. 2), Shinji Kinjo (Vol. 3), Shigeo Miyagi (Vol. 4)
