Hi their, thanks a lot for keeping your eyes on japanese culture. i'm japanese and i regret that not so many japanese young age peole interested in its own culture. i guess foreign people are more curious to know about dancig like this... sigh. Well, orochi story is a typical oral folklore in japan and it can be picked up all over japan especially in deep mountain side. my country holds a story almost same as well. thus the plot of dancing has been written baced on these old folklores. i love it

[TastesLikemadness]

i love how his body keeps in perfect rhythm with the erratic music

[Nexarianz]

once you lay aside your own cultural teachings of theater & art, this is no different, even in another spoken language; the language of the body is understood throughout.

This could have had 10 more parts & I would have watched them all eagerly as I had goosebumps from the imagery.

Thank you for sharing this!
