Nuno-zarashi (布晒し)
Print Date: June 6, 1937
Series: [Fifty Dances] Odori Gojyûban (をどり五十番) #4
Personal Collection
Note: Technically speaking, "Nuno-zarashi" is not the name
of a
particular dance, but rather a technique seen in Kabuki and
traditional
Japanese dance, which involves the waving about of two long strips
of cloth in the air so as not to let them touch the ground.
