OKEIKO 40
"Go-shūgi-mono", or "festive pieces", as their name implies, are elegant dances with a festive tone. The OKEIKO series has already presented "Matsu no Midori" and "Shichifukujin", both of which are "go-shūgi-mono". Although the content of these pieces is completely different, the basic movements common to "go-shūgi-mono" can be seen at the beginning and end of the dances. Starting with this episode, we will introduce these basic movements in four installments.
