Download or read book The Japanese Dance written by Marcelle Azra Hincks and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-02 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Japanese Dance In one of the oldest legends of Japan we are told that the Sun-Goddess Amaterasu, being angry, hid herself in a cave, so that the world was plunged in darkness, and life on earth became intolerable. And the eight million deities of the Japanese heaven, seeing the sorrow and destruction wrought by Amaterasus absence from the world, sought by every means possible to coax her from her retreat; but nothing could prevail on her to leave it, until one god, wiser than the others, devised a plan whereby the angered goddess might be lured from her hiding-place. Amongst the immortals was the beautiful Ame-no-Uzume; they sent her to dance and sing at the mouth of the cave, and the goddess, attracted by the unusual sound of music and dancing, and unable to withstand her curiosity, emerged from her concealment, to gaze upon the dancer. So that once more she gave the light of her smile to the world. The people never forgot that dancing had been the means of bringing back Amaterasu to Japan the land on which she still shines with incomparable radiance and softness and therefore, from time immemorial, the dance has been honoured as a religious ceremony and practised as a fine art throughout the land called of the rising sun. To find the origin of dancing in Japan we must, then, go back to that remote period when history merges into fable, and when the simplest occurrences of life are attributed to supernatural causes.

Book Synopsis Dance Dance Dance by : Haruki Murakami
Download or read book Dance Dance Dance written by Haruki Murakami and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-10-10 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An assault on the senses, part murder mystery, part metaphysical speculation; a fable for our times as catchy as a rock song blasting from the window of a sports car. High-class call girls billed to Mastercard. A psychic 13-year-old dropout with a passion for Talking Heads. A hunky matinee idol doomed to play dentists and teachers. A one-armed beach-combing poet, an uptight hotel clerk and one very bemused narrator caught in the web of advanced capitalist mayhem. Combine this offbeat cast of characters with Murakami's idiosyncratic prose and out comes Dance Dance Dance. 'If Raymond Chandler had lived long enough to see Blade Runner, he might have written something like Dance Dance Dance' Observer

Book Synopsis Songs to Make the Dust Dance by : Yung-Hee Kim
Download or read book Songs to Make the Dust Dance written by Yung-Hee Kim and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-06-21 with total page 243 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breaking through the long-established image of Heian Japan (794–1185) as a culture dominated by ritualized aristocratic values, Yung-Hee Kim presents a picture of a country in transition, filled with a wide variety of common people responding to very ordinary situations. The court does not disappear, but rather becomes part of a larger society inhabited by Buddhist nuns and mountain ascetics, farmers and fishermen, beggars and gamblers. In popular songs called imayo, they express their concerns about religion, love, aging, and even current affairs. In 1179 Emperor Go-Shirakawa compiled a collection of this song genre, which had flourished for two centuries. His twenty-volume anthology, Ryojin hisho, circulated until the middle of the fourteenth century, when it disappeared completely. To the astonishment of the scholarly world, two volumes reappeared early in the twentieth century. It is these texts—a small remnant of a powerful popular literature—that Kim makes accessible to English-speaking readers. Ryojin hisho juxtaposes the sacred with the profane, the high with the low, the male with the female, the old with the new. The songs, in translations that faithfully reflect the sounds and images of the originals, make up the core of this book. They are surrounded by a wealth of material on the imayo genre, the women who sang the songs, the role of court patronage, and other aspects of Heian culture. Far from simply surviving as an aesthetic artifact, the anthology comes to life in its own literary and cultural context. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Book Synopsis Dancing Into Darkness by : Sondra Horton Fraleigh
Download or read book Dancing Into Darkness written by Sondra Horton Fraleigh and published by University of Pittsburgh Pre. This book was released on 1999-07-15 with total page 291 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Butoh, also known as "dance of darkness," is a postmodern dance form that began in Japan as an effort to recover the primal body or "the body that has not been robbed," as butoh founder Tatsumi Hijikata put it. Butoh has become increasingly popular in the United States and throughout the world, diversifying its aesthetic while at the same time asserting the power of its spiritual foundations. Dancing into Darkness is Sondra Horton Fraleigh's chronological diary of her deepening understanding of and appreciation for this art form as she moves from a position of aesthetic response as an audience member to that of assimilation as a student of Zen and butoh. Fraleigh witnesses her own artistic and personal transformation through essays, poems, interviews, and reflections spanning twelve years of study, much of it in Japan. Numerous performance photographs and original calligraphy by Fraleigh's Zen teacher, Shodo Akane, illuminate her words.
