Fuji Musume - Fuji Musume

Kabuki dance. Nagauta. First performed by Seki Sanjuro II at Nakamuraza in Edo in September 1826 (Bunsei 9). It is one of the five-form dances "Singing, Singing, Aftermath Otsue" based on the genre paintings "Otsue" that were popular at the time. The lyrics were written by Katsui Genpachi and the music was composed by Kineya Rokusaburo IV. Choreography was by Fujima Daisuke (Kanjuro II) and Nishikawa Senzo IV. A girl carrying a wisteria branch shows various poses. When Onoe Kikugorou VI performed it in March 1937, he omitted the traditional "Itakodejima" passage and added Oka Kitaro's new piece "Fuji Ondo," as well as adding a fantastical set and elaborate choreography, which became popular and has since been widely adopted.
