Dance repertoire of Japanese dance

Japanese dance originated from kabuki, and there are many classical dances handed down from the Edo period. Representative works include story dances that show Japanese historical figures, such as Persuade into Account, Loyal Minister Zang, etc., as well as works that show love and feelings with dances (Ziniang Daocheng Temple is famous) and works with the theme of "being able to be brief" (Shoufan Zuo, a dance that prays for world peace, is very representative).

In addition to the traditional female dances "Cherry Blossom" and "Flower Comparison", there are also male dances "Takeda Shingen" and "Musashi Miyamoto" based on Japanese historical themes. In 2004, they also starred in a new work with the theme of Inuyasha.
