Miyako Dance - Miyako Dance

A dance gathering for geisha from Gion, Kyoto. It began in 1872 (Meiji 5) with choreography and instruction from Inoue Yachiyo III, and is performed exclusively in the Inoue-ryu style of Kyomai. It is the oldest dance gathering for geisha and geisha, and later became the source of similar dances in geisha districts such as Tokyo and Osaka. It was suspended for six years due to World War II, but was revived after the war and held at the Minami-za for three years, and has since been held every year at the Kaburenjo Theater in Gion. It is held from April 1st to the last day of the month, and has become a tourist attraction in Kyoto.
