The World Is Dancing Episode 1

In 1374, during the conflict between the Northern and Southern Courts, the Shogun of the Northern Court, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, was becoming increasingly powerful. During this time, Oniyasha, the son of Kanami, the head of the surugaku performers, was consumed by a single thought: Why do people dance?

The beautiful and sensitive Oniyasha met people, laughed and cried, struggled with his own weaknesses, and gradually created a new form of dance for this changing world.
