JAPANESE DANCES.
TSes Are Not Highly Amusing ana
Are Not Iudelfcnte ,t

The form OF amusement of q dra-
matte nature that most interests the
traveller in JaISn is the geisha dance,
also the kugura, or common religious
dance, aud the adzuma- mai, a religious
dance performed In the ancient Shiino-
Gamo Shinto temple near Kyoto.
These dances are not particularly
amusing to witness, though all sights
of the kind are more or less amusing
when witnessed for the first time. Tho
best geisha dancing takes place In
Kioto, the next best IN Tokyo, but so
called geiSla dances may be seen in
teveral OF the large towns.
Almost more interesting to see, how.
ever, are the religious dances. In tho
kagurn, for instance. the dancer usual.
~ wears loose white chemlSe gar.
ment, pair of Tapping trousers. gen
orally OF Il bright red color, and II long,
transparent covering forlucd like d
cloak and ornamentcd with designs re-.
sembling crests. Her hair hangs down
her back In single tress lowers adorn
her for, head, and her face is hesmeared
with white compound, said to consist
chiefly of white lead. In her hand she
holds'a bunch of small bells that Is not
unlike Il child's toy. This she shnlies ut
intervals during the dance. Sometimes
several girls dance at one time, but IN
every case their movements are accom-
panied by mournful. sacred chant
ahd by tune played upon IL drum and
flute by priests. 1t Is wrong TO sup
pose, however, as many Europeans
who have visited Japan do suppose,
that the mikakoodori dance Is Indecent.
About the genuine gcisha dance there
is nothing even indicate or sugges-
