Samurai culture has been built up over centuries since ancient times. The stage art of "Kembu" carries it on through dance. We want samurai enthusiasts throughout Japan and the world to know the charm of Kembu, so we are holding workshops that extract highlights from the works so that anyone can enjoy them. Why not interpret the poems and dance to their stories and reminisce about the era in which the samurai lived? This time, from among the many performances, we will introduce Rai Sanyo's Chinese poem "Hachiman-ko". Let's dance powerfully to the image of Minamoto no Yoritomo and Ashikaga Takauji's ancestor Minamoto no Yoshiie, who went on an expedition to Oshu during the Gosannen War. - "Sword techniques" required in the play - Basic sword handling - About the expression "mitate" using a fan - Explanation of the poems and texts - Demonstration performance by the instructor - Commemorative photo, if desired, wear "stage costume" - For hygiene reasons, tabi socks can be purchased for 300 yen. If you have tabi, please bring them with you. In addition, we recommend tabi socks with bleached soles.
A stage performing art, sword dance, that expresses the emotions of samurai and poets with a sword. Since the Meiji era, it has been performed nationwide as a performing art that inherits the samurai culture, and is now known as "Ginkenshibu". There are more than 100 schools nationwide, regardless of age or gender, and we practice every day at various competitions and stage performances. The instructor is Shoga-ryu Ginmaisha or Kotenshindo-ryu Kenshibu, both of whom are leaders of the Kenshibu-ryu school.
During the experience, you will be taught the formalities of the performing art, including etiquette, sword technique, and fan handling. Learn the basics of sword handling, such as how to hold, draw, slash, and sheathe a sword, then try on a stage costume and experience sword dancing. The performance is aimed at all ages.
