Kyoto Festival: Young Japanese Girls Dancing at Zuishin-in Temple (Hanezu Odori)

Serving as a celebration of the coming spring season and in honor of the famous poet and Japanese beauty Ono no Komachi, Zuishin-in Temple's Hanezu Odori is held each year on the last Sunday of March. Based on an old folk song and dance tradition in the Ono area of Kyoto, Japan, the Hanezu Odori tells the story of Ono no Komachi and her ill-fated would-be lover Fukukasa no Shosho. Young girls perform this charming dance accompanied by koto music and a song that tells the sad story of The Tale of One Hundred Nights.
Let a monk from Zuishin-in guide you step by step through this local festival, show you the lovely plum blossom gardens, and explain the various dances and sights available at the Hanezu Odori!

The shot of the stage with the rain falling in the foreground is very aesthetic. The rain and the dark stained wood especially remind me of home.

We never turned our back on traditions and culture while moving forward.
We carry traditions and culture at our back while moving forward.
Traditions and cultures are where and how we come from,

the nippon were vegetarian for about 1200 years - like most bharatiya still are - and i think the high development of culture and IQ is due to this.
In 1872 the last "emperor" broke the law by eating meat and within 20 years war was waged against china; by WW2 meat had japanese committing incomparable atrocities. It is only meat eating which can make sense of WW2-modern Japan and ancient Nippon culture

[@albertlopez6620]

Se han echo muchos desfiles en el mundo de ropa ...
Pero con la inspiracion del sintoismo solo en Japón
Muchos trages del sintoismo japones ya adelantaban un futuro para el ojo espero
Algunos trajes de japon del año 1300 ya adelantaban que en eeuu todavía sin colonizar se fabricarian autos , el rock de elvis presley y la tela de los pantalones jeans ..
Cientos de años antes en japon ya sabian que en eeuu tendrían esos tres inventos juntos coches rokc y jeans pero eso se ve en unos desfiles de japoneses pero solo para el ojo esperto
Los mejores desfiles del mundo de ropa en Japón
En paris te quieren marcar la temporada en Japón te dejan ver el futuro asta de paises no creados todavía

[@waylonwong369]

有點喜歡日本文化和風土人情.沒有去過日本,也不知道如今是否保留了曾今的優良傳統.對日本的了解,僅僅來自於日本19-20世紀的電視劇內容.最大的印象就是日本人的謙虛和隱忍.
