- čas přidán 11. 05. 2013
- Classic Edo magic, known as tezuma, is the captivating integration of illusion, traditional Japanese acting, musical performance, costumes and stories. Kohtaro Fujiyama, a product of Chiba University's Magic Circle and the eldest son of tezuma legend Shintaro Fujiyama, followed his father onto the professional stage in 2006. In 2012, he won the Japan Magic Association award for best magician for the third straight year, and recently took the grand prize at the Agency for Cultural Affairs Arts Festival. Kohtaro showcases his unique skills overseas as well, at venues that include Hollywood's Walk of Fame and the famed Magic Castle. In addition to performing, he passes on the secrets of the art as a tezuma instructor and practices acrobatics.

Very good show and loved the music. I wish more cultures from around the world would be so kind to show us some of their traditions. Japan seems beautiful
This is not magic this magnificent art!
Magic is magnificent art ;-)
Its traditional magic art of japanese
7:37
pause it and watch carefuly then u notice that large butterfly there :)
cannot be unseen
pud ge :O!! Wow, that's amazing. I wonder how he pulled that off.
oh yeh and that was just amazing!!!
wow that actually just blew my mind
pud ge I
That was an amazing Japanese art of magical performance. The flight pattern of the butterflies looks real.
Dude, that was cool. Very superb job !
What a beautiful, and unique expression. Interesting to think how differently something as rudimentary as paper was used in the Japanese culture to tell stories. Not through a written or spoken language, but through a language that everyone can understand.
IS IT JUST ME BUT DID U SEE THE BIG BUTTERFLY SHAPE AT THE END? WHY AM I CRYING?
That was a truely amazing showing of art and skill.
He is the air bender I was looking for.
Hopefully the sequel will be made on hom
*him
So sweet ... a portrayal of the cycle of life ...
That's just amazing, thank you, magician! ;)
wow this is so cool it looks like the butterflies could cling to the fans. you deserve an A+ for that.
Very nice! This engages the mind so much more than the pomp of most western programs.
I need more of this tezuma in my life
Beautiful. The Japanese have an amazing sense of artistry.
Very different, very cool! Story well told. 🦋
Amazing performance!
what an Exquisite display. different cultures, I assume ,can interpret magic in so many different ways. whether you consider it art or Magic I personally consider it both. fantastic :)
Just beautiful how he shows the butterfly's life cycle from beginning to end and starting over again it's kinda a love story. He shows the big butterfly at the end
Bravo, simply beautiful.
Pretty solid sleight of fan.
codegavran I think you mean sleight of hand.

Simply exquisite.
Man. Awesome.
fantastic!
Amaging art
Beautiful
Awesome!
such mastery
Wonderful performance.
Take note of the confetti at the end, fluttering out to make a butterfly shape; that’s sleight of hand used for art
Amazing
AMAZING ! Japanese culture is very very exciting !
Tarek Wisdom ur bit wrong yes Japanese culture is exciting the most way is to call respect
Robert Morgan How is he "a bit wrong"? All he says is that Japanese culture is exciting and then you repeat that it is! 😂
As far as forms of entertainment go this has got to be one of the least exciting. If this excites you, I fear for your health in an actually exciting scenario.
Ah yes, the simple of life. The cycle of it. The circle of life.
I like the idea of doing magic while having a deep & beautiful story. It's more magical than just do cool stuffs.
I love the music
what's the name of that flute instrument? the one the musician on the right was playing
+galletta96 shakuhachi
Wow beautiful :)
Fantastic...This was great!😏💕🌟🎎😆😄😁
When my brother heard the music he became a daimyo that rules 5 regions
Flawless victory
7:37 the butterfly spirit was with him
who is interpreter? shes great!
Great!!!
So cool
7:06... Did the camera guy ruined it or was the magician not careful with angles.
Thank you for reminding me... I don't have long. I must work harder..
This music slaps, where can I buy track?
Nice skills.
The last part made me remember Killua's little sis who used a fan and confetti that can cut through bones.
Magical
5:44 he's like "where'd it go?"
Get this onto Fool Us, with Penn & Teller. I'd be fascinated to know if some Eastern traditional magic is outside their range (probably not). Even if they're aware of the slight of hand that's employed, the style and pacing of storytelling is so different here, you might have a shot at sliding something past them.
True Magic!!
Xahrrigato ghozzaimassu. Thank you, kindly.
This reminds of Kubo and the Two Strings. Was it based on this?
Great Japnese Art!
tão simples, mas com tanta beleza...
Maravilloso
6:30 you can see he already has the white tentacle thing in his hand the whole time
stop ruining the magic
your lack of faith is disturbing
i dont think you heard the intro clearly, he said the magic is all about the story everyone knows its all in his hands but he showed a story which dumb fucks like you wouldnt get it
So nice bro
Now, that's some superior juggling.
Well I'm a fan now
I wonder if this was an inspiration for the movie Kubo.
what are name of the songs what is the music genre?
fine magic
please, someone, share me the links for these type of musics. I want them.
It's just traditional japanese music
@@CiDK thank you
I have to say the music is not at all to my taste. Strident and agricultural!
wow
3:46 I figured it out. When he puts the fan in his mouth, he is putting a piece of "magician's wax" in his mouth that he had already attached to the tissue (THINK OF IT LIKE A STRING) Thats how he controls it; it can only go so far from him. This is how magicians make cards boomerang around themselves
Wow, we're so impressed.
in the end he left butterfly too it shows that butterfly was always there
How did he do that?
el arte ultrasensible y sutil japones como siempre.
Good but, where is the magic part ?
Somebody gotta make a beat out of 2:35
This is the Way .....
Good.
