Broadcasters Eye: Dancing on the Ocean Breeze (2017x31)

Data de estreia: Abr 22, 2017

In the tiny coastal community of Omuro in Miyagi Prefecture, northeastern Japan, the folk performing art known as "Omuro Nanbu Kagura" has been handed down over the generations. For about a century, the tradition was passed from family to family, parent to child. But when an earthquake and tsunami struck in March 2011, everything Omuro's residents had held dear was gone. Kagura performers lost family members, and a key member of the local kagura group went missing.
