She is already legendary. Her grandmother must be smiling.

[@vladpolushkin3610]

This woman is a walking piece of art. Not sure it is possible to transfer her skills to someone else. It is not even about movements. It is about the inner culture. Her facial expression, as if she looks inside, is absolutely remarkable.

まさに至宝、芸の極み至芸

[@tomoko8299]

美しい扇子で、水や自然、心情を表現する こんなに美しい舞踊は日本にしかありません 本当に、日本の芸術は素晴らしく、世界に誇る伝統文化だと思います 風情ある街並み、美しい建物もまた、本当に素晴らしい 京都へ行って京舞を見に行きたいですし、踊ってみたいです✨

[@theGENIUSofART-understood]

I met her in Kyoto. She was showing me the hand movements. Just a turn of her hand is complete magic. I have no idea how she does it.

[@FC-eh7ll]

Where and how did you meet her and why was she randomly showing you the hand movements?

[@EnglishFuture-xg1gw]

@@FC-eh7ll she wasn't randomly showing me hand movements. It was part of the conversation. I had NO idea who she was when we met. But WOW just such subtle movements were wonderful.

[@liriel2093]

Phenomenal display of elegance and devotion to tradition.

[@Annie-ex3ge]

This dance combines elegance, grace and strength. I once had the fortune of seeing a live dance. Completely moving, I had tears on my eyes.

[@dudanunesbleff]

Just imagine what it means to be considered a living national treasure. Goodness gratious!

[@Utulintu]

I feel very privileged to even see her dance in videos. If I were to meet her in real life, I don’t even know if I could handle it. Such an amazing person.

Evening from the U.K and OMG it's stunning viewing, words for me it's hard to explain, I could watch you dance and teach your love and passion for your Culture. I hope you're family will keep on going. The men who are singing, I might not understand the words, but it touched my heart and soul, I believe all women should have a strong sense and a beautiful standard from the top to the bottom.I have always been interested in Japanese History, thank you for sharing your post ❤❤❤

[@diana.diamond]

not only shes a wonderful dancer, but shes so eloquent and well spoken. i loved her use of metaphors to describe people and things

[@EkoPrasetyo-zh9nf]

My sister is a practicioner of traditional dance also...so i know the beauty of traditional dance from her... And here i am, seeing the legend does kyomai...such a privillege for me

[@itsmoula7828]

I'm really impressed by this lady she's beautiful and talented, I really love Japanese culture ! Greetings from tunisia 🇹🇳🇯🇵

[@mylearningaccount]

The commitment, self discipline, grace and beauty of this dance form is remarkable. I love that it is passed on from one woman to the next, respecting the traditions but willing to accept that Japan is constantly evolving and the dance must evolve with each subsequent generation. Beautiful.

[@斎藤まさる]

Greetings from Brazil, beloved Japanese brothers and sisters! It's a pleasure seeing such a beautiful culture well preserved and integrated in modern times. The Japanese and the Brazilian cultures are complementary to each other and I love that.

[@wizzardofpaws2420]

I watched a very long video of her grandmother teaching her. It was absolutely magnificent. The level of professionalism in Keomai's dance is incredible. And a joy to watch.

[@irenebryant9755]

Wow, she is so beautiful and elegant. Yashima is a wonderful example of elegance.

[@-the-light]

I love this. Being a Shakuhachi player, I hear the traditional arts are being lost and forgotten in Japan. This video gives me hope that the Japanese youth will continue to carry on their deep, rich, beautiful culture. Thank you for this post.🙏

В движениях госпожи Иноуэ видятся восхитительные легкость и грация, и вместе с тем чувствуется непревзойденный контроль над телом. Благодаря всем, кто принимал участие в создании этого видео, танцами Кёмаи люди смогут насладиться многие столетия спустя. Спасибо

[@ambergris1996]

I believe marital arts and such kind of performing arts from Japanese tradition, are real great for developing spatial skills, agility, awareness of the unseen threat (in any possible dimension) in a person.

[@franberghii2161]

when watching traditional dances from mainly asian countries, i often amazed theyre capable of moving gracefully without making sound like theyre floating. i grew up in java and used to learn traditional dance, my teacher is pretty old but she have no problem squating for hours. with that leg power she must be able to kick anyone nicely if she want to. Fast and quietly, ninja style.

[@jssherrard]

Breathtaking and beautiful. A true artist.

[@okytakka]

I am so happy that Japanese keeping their culture and nobleness and when the lady in their kimono 👘 it just breathtaking and they are so beautiful and elegant and I am proud that Japan are part of Asia and japan makes me proud to be a part of Asian people GOD BLESS JAPAN and long live japan culture and I will visit japan 🇯🇵 in the future!!! Because most of my artist idol are from japan especially the late OZAKI YUTAKKA 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵👍👍👍

The moving image of grace and discipline.

[@saiyamoru]

One thing that was interesting to me was looking at the floorboards when she's dancing at around the 4minute mark. The innermost 2-3 boards of that tearoom have been danced on by so many different women that the lacquer has been *worn off* by their *socks*. It must be truly incredible to be responsible for carrying on these traditions.

[@edienandy]

That stage is the Kyomai practice stage so it’s had students dancing on it for 200+ years. It’s incredible it’s lasted that long

[@paulharvey2396]

thank you very much I hope to support you more.

[@kachi2782]

All of her Kimono regarding of the colour, are in the exact same shade so if you were to photograph them in black and white, they would be the exact same shade of grey. This is no accident, she knows exactly what colour tone suits her to her best and wears it in different colour variations. This is exactly what the ladies in the Heian period used to du as they aged, going one shade darker every year. Even her fashion sense is flawless. And her makeup and hair are perfection. Anna wintour watch and learn, this is how it is done.

[@danshari5975]

[@eduardodelfino1000]

Me encanta, amo a cultura japonesa!

[@vikkirobinson4131]

I understand that this expresses elegance and emotion to those educated in the tradition. For those of us who aren't though, it is very difficult to see the merits of her movements, and to gain any idea beyond "slow" or "sudden" . Cultural traditions are truly diverse.

[@edienandy]

It would help if you knew the meaning of the lyrics. I wish they had shown the full length dances with subtitles translating the lyrics. The movements make a lot more sense that way

[@KardoganLR]

I really hope this art never dies out. It would be a shame!

Très beau documentaire consacré à Inoue Yachiyo-San, admirable conservatrice et formatrice de cet art unique et traditionnel de Kyoto. On a eu le bonheur de pouvoir contempler l'une de ses représentations de kyomai à la cité de la Musique à Paris en 2018, avec d'autres artistes japonais. Un grand moment, très rare en Europe ...
