Nihon Buyo, literally "Japanese dance," is a modern art form performed by artists who train vigorously in kabuki dance. Geimaruza, Japan's young and rising stars-all alumni of the prestigious Tokyo University of the Arts-grace the stage with a gorgeous program including traditional kabuki and folk dances and original neo-traditional arrangements. Performed alongside an ensemble of six musicians playing traditional Japanese instruments.
