Bugaku (Ancient form of court dance) Pictures

Bugaku was originally brought to Japan from China, India and Korea but it is no longer practiced in these countries.

The dances are performed on a high stage in the center of the shrine as the performers dance elegantly in time with the Gagaku, classical court music.
