★ Rare Studio Pottery - Vintage Japanese JOMON DOREI Bell - Akeno Kiln - ODORU HITO - Dancer ★
Bon Odori dance is something that ancestors memorized and passed down through their “bodies” (eyes, ears, mouth, gestures, etc.) without relying on written texts. In this respect, it is similar to “folktales”. Since Bon Odori dance was basically a folk custom, the records kept by the ruling class and the elite are fragmentary.
Some of the Bon Odori dances handed down in various regions still retain the appearance of the old days, giving us a chance to imagine what it was like in the past. However, these old dances are small in numbers, and they are always in danger of reducing, disappearing, or being transformed.
