The Fujima school of the head family, which has supported Edo Kabuki and laid the foundation for transmitting Tokyo's culture to the world over the past 300 years, will convey to Brazil the appeal of its sophisticated "suodori" dance. He was joined by dancers and musicians of the same generation and presented the present dance of Tokyo. In the workshop, Kanjuro, who plays a central role in Kabuki's choreography, will provide valuable information on the "creative scene" that cannot be obtained by watching performances or studying books.
