💃THE WISTERIA MAIDEN🪩
'Fuji Musume' (藤娘) is a kabuki dance, first staged in 1826 at the Nakamura-za in Edo as one of a set of five dances. It is the only dance to have survived.
The idea was inspired by a piece of Ōtsu-e (大津絵) art, produced on the shores of Lake Biwa.
#Otsue #大津絵 #fujimusume #藤娘
The dance begins with a young woman, depicted in a painting called 'Katsugi-musume' (かつぎ娘) by Domomata (吃又), coming to life.
Representing the 'spirit of wisteria', she laments how men's feelings can be difficult to win over (men are symbolized by a pine on stage).
