It is said that the history of Japanese dancing goes back to the mythical age. A famous Japanese myth tells us that Amenouzume no Mikoto danced in front of the Amano Iwato to open the cave entrance that Amaterasu Ohmikami had concealed herself in. The 'kagura' dancing in its religious and mystical influence is said to have came into existence from this story.

It can be said that Kabuki and Japanese dancing used to be synonymous. Later, however, the Okuni Kabuki was played by prostitutes and was passed down from generation to generation. During the Edo period, it was prohibited because it was thought to be might be immoral. Irregardless of this suppression, kabuki passed down form generation to generation while changing dance style.

Even though it has changed to the dramatic performance of today, the posturing of Japanese dancing, the vocalization of traditional Japanese music and the stage presentation has been preserved carefully. Furthermore the training and endowment of Japanese dancing has been essential basis of Kabuki Theater.

From then the accompaniment of music progressed. Gradually the element of story-telling performance became the focus of the performance. Many performances based on authentic dance news accounts were written. It was the evidence of shosagoto in Kabuki that illustrated the use of Japanese dancing by choreographers and directors of Kabuki.
