LEARN AUTHENTIC NIHONBUYO, WHEREVER YOU ARE!
NIHONBUYO IS AWESOME
- Learn how to not only wear but also move correctly in traditional Japanese clothing including Kimono (women and men) and Hakama
- Master o-sensu (fans), katana (swords) and other traditional Japanese props
- Dive deep into Japan’s rich portfolio of historical and fictional stories and characters
- Enjoy a wide variety of Japanese music ranging from more traditional genres e.g. nagauta or hauta to enka and POP (yes, you can dance Nihonbuyo to pop songs!)


BUT FINDING A GREAT TEACHER ...
Nihonbuyo is just awesome but finding a teacher can seem impossible, especially when you don’t speak Japanese fluently.
And even if you miraculously find a teacher who can teach you, you might run into further issues.
Here are some of the concerns we hear frequently from foreign and Japanese students who have tried to learn Nihonbuyo:
- Expensive lessons and performances
- Lack of comprehensive instructions and explanations (the traditional “watch and learn” method of teaching)
- Strict rules within and outside the classroom (don’t ask questions, don’t learn from other teachers, only stick to the genre and dances you get taught)
Unfortunately, that’s why many students discontinue learning Nihonbuyo although they enjoy the dancing.
We at Hanabusagoryu find this mottainai (such a shame) and have set out to change how Nihonbuyo is taught – online and offline!

HANABUSAGORYU
We are a Japanese Nihonbuyo school with locations in Tokyo, Kyoto/Osaka, Yonago, Fukuoka and Imabari. And, we have set out to revolutionize Nihonbuyo.
Unfortunately, as you might know Nihonbuyo doesn’t have the best image. It’s perceived as strict, difficult, expensive and boring. But, we at Hanabusagoryu don’t agree with that (AT ALL!). We think Nihonbuyo is the most awesome performance genre there is.
Our mission is to make Nihonbuyo more accessible for anyone by making it easier to understand and more fun. We do so by providing comprehensive training (not the old way of “watch and learn (or not)”), creating enjoyable performances (laughter, tears and surprises) and providing information and content openly. Last but not least, while taking our art very seriously but ourselves not so much :).
Now, we take our mission online to provide fun, comprehensive and great quality training to everyone who wants to give it a try.
