VIDEO STILLS
still from Itzuzu dance video
Izutsu (井筒, The Well Cradle) was written by Zeami, the dominant figure in the early history of Noh theatre. It is one of the classics in the Noh canon.
Izutsu is based on an old story from the Ise Monogatari, a 9th century collection of stories, many of which are based on stories about the romantic encounters of a "certain man", traditionally identified as the poet Ariwara no Narihira.
This is a HD video composed of 32 animated still image layers with choreographed shadow hand movement.
