There are two types of period, and Mai, which originated in the western part of Japan. Odori grew out of Kabuki drama and is more oriented toward male sentiments. Mai is traditionally performed in japanese rooms instead of on the stage. It was influenced by the Noh Drama . A variation of the Mai style of Japanese dance is the Kyomai or Kyoto Style Dance. Kyomai developed in the 17th century Tokugawa cultural period. It is heavily influenced by the elegance and sophistication of the manners often associated with the Japanese Imperial Court . Another famous dance in Japan is the Bon dance, called " Bon Odori " (ηθΈγ) in Japanese. People dance the Bon Dance during the Bon Festival , held every summer in districts and neighborhoods in every city in Japan. A newer dance, So-ran Bushi , is a new sort of Japanese traditional dance that fuses traditional Japanese movement with a modern rock beat. |
