Performance of Traditional Japanese Dance: “Dai Dengaku”

Originally, the term dengaku refers to the festivities of the cultivation of rice all around Japan, where citizens used to perform traditional dances. These dances began in Kyoto and in other Japanese cities between the 11th and the 16th centuries. However, with time they began to disappear until Mannojo Nimura (1959-2004) recovered them, making them more attractive for the public in general and gave them a more contemporary touch.
