"Kagurazaka Odori" Is One of the Most Cherished Occasions for the Kagurazaka Geisha
It’s a bit ahead, but we are pleased to announce that "Kagurazaka Odori 2024" will be held on Saturday, October 19. This event is one of the most cherished occasions for the Kagurazaka geisha community to showcase their artistry to the general public. Shinjuku Ward designated it a local cultural asset in 2011.
The program includes performances of Nagauta, Kiyomoto, and Tokiwazu and songs and dances inspired by Kyoka Izumi (1873–1939), a writer closely associated with Kagurazaka, accompanied by shamisen music. The event concludes with all the geisha performing a dance together and the traditional distribution of "Tenugui" towels to the audience.
We will provide further details, such as ticket sales dates, as soon as they are determined.
