Gekidan Miyama Official: http://gekidan-miyama.net/ A Dance of the Courtesan ('Oiran') performed by the trio of Takashi Satomi, Kohta Satomi, and Kyoma Satomi. From the 18th midcentury onwards, only those courtesans who possessed an enlightened sense of culture artistic skills ('Gei'), and aesthetic appearance were categorized as 'Oiran'. They were considered “courtesans so expensive that they would cause Castles to lean”. The costumes and wigs for this dance weigh a total of 8 kilograms (18lbs), making not only movement difficult, but requiring considerable skill to dance gracefully. The artists here perform as three female personas. *'Gei' refers to dances, instrument-playing and so on at banquets 【Product information】 The Miyama Theater Company, led by Takashi Satomi, has created a visual work as the first step in its new partnership with Universal Music! Created with the sensitivities of the younger generation, it's the very latest evocation of the Japanese “World of Harmony”. A world view of beauty that matches that of anime and cosplay.
