There are two types of [[Japan|Japanese]] traditional dance: the Japanese/traditional dance - Odori, which originated in the [[Edo]] period, and Mai, which originated in the western part of Japan. Odori grew out of [[Kabuki]] drama and is more oriented toward male sentiments. Mai is traditionally performed in Japanese rooms instead of on the stage. It was influenced by the [[Noh|Noh Drama]]. |

A variation of the Mai style of Japanese dance is the Kyomai or Kyoto Style Dance. Kyomai developed in the 17th century Tokugawa cultural period. It is heavily influenced by the elegance and sophistication of the manners often associated with the Japanese Imperial Court.
Another famous dance in Japan is the Obon dance, called "Bon Odori" (盆踊り) in Japanese. People dance the Obon during the Obon Festival, held every summer in districts and neighborhoods in every city in Japan. Obon is an annual Buddhist event for commemorating one's ancestors. It is believed that each year during obon, the ancestors' spirits return to this world in order to visit their relatives.
A newer dance, So-ran Bushi, is a new sort of Japanese traditional dance that fuses traditional Japanese movement with a modern rock beat.
