Ticket Sales Announcement: Don’t Miss the Annual Kagurazaka Odori, a Celebrated Cultural Heritage Event

Ticket sales information for the major geisha event “Kagurazaka Odori 2024,” which is held only once a year, has been announced. “Kagurazaka Odori” is a performance event open to the public and was designated as a regional cultural property of Shinjuku Ward in 2011.

Preserving Traditional Japanese Performing Arts, such as Geisha

Through “Kagurazaka Odori,” traditional Japanese performing arts such as Nihon Buyo (Japanese dance), Kiyomoto, Nagauta, Tokiwazu, and Narimono are preserved, maintained, and promoted, spreading traditional culture from Kagurazaka.

Nihon Buyo (Japanese dance) is a classical dance form characterized by graceful movements and traditional costumes. Kiyomoto, Nagauta, and Tokiwazu are styles of narrative music performed with shamisen, each with its own unique rhythm and melody. Narimono refers to the traditional percussion instruments, such as taiko drums and hand drums, that add rhythm and atmosphere to these performances. Together, these elements create the rich and immersive experience of traditional Japanese performing arts, such as geisha.

A Historic Gathering of Kagurazaka Geisha at Kagurazaka Odori

The Nihon Buyo in Kagurazaka is of the Hanayagi school, and the 16 geisha currently belonging to the group (including one Hangyoku apprentice) undergo rigorous daily training under the guidance of their instructors. Furthermore, in September, a new Hangyoku apprentice will make her debut during “Kagurazaka Odori.” This will be the first time all 17 Kagurazaka geisha will gather and perform together at this event.
