Twitter Facebook Google+Documentary | Music | Short
Overview
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.

Viewing Notes
Nice short film topic. Wish they had interviewed more than a couple of the performers. Also would be nice to get reactions from native Okinawans and others.
Reminded me of when Yumi would perform with the Okinawan group at Mitsuwa, the segment on the sanshin performance.
