The elegant way of living longevity - Ennen no Furyu

Japanese: 延年の風流 - えんねんのふりゅう
The elegant way of living longevity - Ennen no Furyu


[Elegance and Conflict]
Furyu originally meant a gorgeous design, and in the Heian period, the term was used to refer to the extravagant designs used in interior decorations and oxcart decorations, but eventually came to refer mainly to the singing and dancing in festival parades (nerimono), as well as the props and costumes used in festivals. This furyu was absorbed into Ennen-gei, which was incorporating various performing arts, and from around the mid-Kamakura period, Ennen-no-Furyu developed into a theatrical performance with a set plot in the Ennen setting. There are two types of Ennen-no-Furyu: Dai-Furyu and Ko-Furyu, which have in common the fact that the plot progresses through dialogue, but Dai-Furyu features large-scale props and ends with bugaku, while Ko-Furyu features no significant props and ends with a simple dance.
