A group dance known as furyu-odori, with dancers in brilliant attire and gay accessories, originated in Kyoto and soon spread all over Japan from the end of the Muromachi Period to the Edo Period. The term furyu originally meant dressing oneself up with cheerful clothing and other personal belongings. People vied for the extravagant decorations of their festival floats and colorful costumers as they paraded in religious festivals. Soon musicians with flutes, drums and bells and singers came to join the dancing parades, and parade dances with characteristic hand movements became a fad. These dances are known to be the origins of today’s Bon dance. Happily dancing people were often depicted on the byobu (heavy paper screen doors) and fuzoku-emaki (picture scrolls of ordinary people’s lives). One of the central themes in such fuzoku-emaki is “partying under cherry blossoms.” Group dances were performed under cherry trees in full bloom, while other paintings depict outdoor parties by ordinary citizens, mostly drawn on huge byobu (heavy paper screen). The exhibit is one example of such people enjoying furyu-odori. They form rings while musicians with three-string instruments, flutes and drums play in the center. In the lower right corner, you can see branches of trees, so this 4-panel painting may have been a part of the usual 6-panel byobu. As it passed through the hands of different owners, damaged parts must have been removed to remake the same painting into a more portable four-panel byobu. Enjoy the relaxed manners of the people with their simplicity and nonchalance.
