•  Butoh

  Butoh (Butō) is the collective name for a diverse range of activities, techniques and motivations for dance, performance, or movement inspired by the Ankoku-Butoh movement. It typically involves playful and grotesque imagery, taboo topics, extreme or absurd environments, and is traditionally "performed" in white-body makeup with slow hyper-controlled motion, with or without an audience. But there is no set style, and it may be purely conceptual with no movement at all.

•  Sōran Bushi

  So-ran Bushi (ソーラン節) is one of the most famous traditional songs in Japan. It was originated by the fishermen of Hokkaidō, the north part of Japan. So-ran Bushi accompanies the bon dance in many parts of Japan, and it has its own dancing styles that date back generations. Recently, however, the So-ran dance was reimagined by a high school teacher leading his students. Under this direction, it gained a more modern, faster beat, and it was reinterpreted for a more modern setting.

•  Bon Festival

  Obon or just Bon is a Japanese Buddhist custom to honor the departed (deceased) spirits of one's ancestors. This Buddhist custom has evolved into a family reunion holiday during which people return to ancestral family places and visit and clean their ancestors' graves, and when the spirits of ancestors are supposed to revisit the household altars. It has been celebrated in Japan for more than 500 years and traditionally includes a dance, known as Bon-Odori.

•  Shirabyōshi

  Shirabyōshi were female dancers, prominent in the Japanese Imperial Court, who performed traditional Japanese dances (the dances themselves also called shirabyōshi) dressed as men. The profession of shirabyōshi developed in the 12th century. They would perform for nobles and high-ranking samurai, and at celebrations. They are sometimes referred to as courtesans in the West, but that term refers to a high-class prostitute, so this is rather incorrect. By nature they were performers.
