Ryukyu Buyo: Okinawan Soul (2022)

琉球舞踊 - チムグクル 継承される沖縄の心

Ryukyu Buyo was created in the era when Okinawa flourished as the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was the classical dance forms of that time that laid the foundation for a tradition that continues to this day. Why has this tradition been carried on for so many generations? We explore how ‘Chimugukuru – Sincerity’, the soul of Okinawan culture, has been inherited through dance.
