One year ago (April 10th) I had the unique opportunity to see this talented performer at Tsurugaoka Hachimangû during Kamakura festival. She is Azuma Seika, she is dancing “Shizuka no mai” or “The dance of Shizuka”. I was deeply moved by her performance.
Shizuka Gozen (1165/7-?) was a famous shirabyoshi dancer (a female artist who danced in a male garb). The mistress of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, she fled with him when his half-brother, the shogun Minamoto no Yoritomo, tried to have him killed. However, Shizuka was later captured and brought to Kamakura. Yoritomo forced her to dance for him, but she expressed her defiance with her dance and her song. Sadly, the bold Shizuka was pregnant with Yoshitsune’s child. Since it was a boy, Yoritomo ordered the execution of the baby. It is likely that Shizuka became a nun after this tragedy. According to some accounts, Shizuka was also a naginata practitioner and two weapons said to have belonged to her have been kept by important families.
Shirabyōshi 白拍子

Les shirabyōshi 白拍子 étaient des danseuses traditionnelles, de la période Kamakura jidai 鎌倉時代 (1185-1333). Elles étaient appréciées à la cour impériale japonaise. Ces danseuses se produisaient également pour les kuge 公家 (nobles) et les samurai 侍 de haut rang. La profession de shirabyōshi connait un franc succès poussant de nombreuses femmes à vivre ainsi. La shirabyōshi voue sa danse aux dieux. Le nom shirabyōshi signifie "rythme blanc" en raison de leur maquillage et du caractère lent et rythmé de leur danse. Elles étaient éduquées, savaient lire et écrire, maîtrisaient la poésie, la musique et la danse. Il a été dit que la culture shirabyōshi a fortement influencé le théâtre "nō 能" en mettant en avant le kusemai 曲舞, forme peu orthodoxe de la danse.

Les shirabyōshi sont reconnaissables grâce à la tenue purement masculine qu’elles portent inspirée du shinto 神道 :
Un chapeau "tate-eboshi"立烏帽子", porté par les samurai.
Une épée, "tachi 太刀" de samurai.
Un "hakama 袴" rouge, porté principalement par les hommes.
Un "suikan 水干" blanc et un suikan rouge, tenue masculine shintoïste.
Un "kawahori 蝙蝠扇", éventail tenu par les hommes.
Les shirabyōshi portaient la marque blanche traditionnelle du maquillage facial, couvrant complètement le visage et le cou et dessinant de nouveaux sourcils plus élevés sur le front, qui sera pendant des siècles associé aux "geisha 芸者".
Leur coiffure était assez simple, les cheveux tirés vers l’arrière en une queue de cheval pouvant parfois aller jusqu’au sol, attachée avec un ruban appelé "takenaga 絵元結".
Yoshitsune Music Video ⚔️
Listening to the epic Japanese song, Kiri no Kamukura (The Mist God's Seat) 霧ノ神座 きりのかむくら 神々の眠る森にて, reminded me of the period drama, Yoshitsune, that I decided to make a music video of it.
Hideaki Takizawa and Satomi Ishihara play Minamoto no Yoshitsune and Shizuka Gozen so well that I can't see anyone else as them. And Ken Matsudaira too, he's exactly what I imagine Benkei to be like.
