its very sad that she is quitting, she also my favorite. but the things that i have heard is that she is quite a serious and skilled dancer, that it is supposed to something she take very serious. but i wish her the best luck :3
I know they are different dance styles; for me, nothing tops the grace of an onnagata XD
I've heard that Kotoha in general is not the most skilled dancer... that she's more looks than skill? Though I'm sure she has improved since this video. So sad to hear she is quitting :( she's one of my favorites.
this dance is actually quite hard to dance even though it looks rather simpel :) since kotoha is a young dancer it might look more stiff compared to an very exprienced dancer.
plus i don't think you can compare it to tamasaburo's kurokami, since the movement/dance style is completely different. but that just what i thinks :3
It may just be my limited knowledge of nihon buyo, but Kotoha isn't looking very graceful to me. Though, this is compared to watching Tamasaburo dance it...
Her hair style is the Sakkou hairstyle. It is worn during the last month of the maiko's apprenticeship.

Isn't Kurokami the dance a maiko dances when she is shortly before her erikae. She is also wearing the sakko hairstyle
