Japanese Classical Dance(Nihon Buyo) and Music by Haru Ichiban Group
Formed in 2006 and based in London UK, HARU ICHIBAN present performances of traditional Japanese dance and music. Their performance is a further development of the much appreciated music group Japanesque. A dancer performs traditional Nihon Buyo, a refined form of Japanese dance. Drawing on Kabuki, Noh theatre and folk dance, Nihon Buyo offers a sophisticated, enchanting performance by a kimono- clad dancer in traditional make-up. She is accompanied by authentic Japanese instruments: koto, shamisen and shakuhachi flute. A cello expands the timbre and depth of the group sound. Recent performances by HARU ICHIBAN have included a luxury travel show at Kensington Olympia (London), the opening of a Lexus showroom for the royal family of Oman, the 50th anniversary ceremony of Ikebana International, BBC TV?s Hotel Babylon, Westminster Cathedral Hall, and festivals in Nottingham and London?s National Theatre.
