Hanagatami (Flower cards) Eiren Nishikawa

“Hanagatami“ is a New Year’s ballad drama that blends the twelve months of the Flower cards nicely into song, in accordance with the months. It was first created and introduced in the spring of 1893 by the Third Generation Kiyomoto, Mamoru Saibei. The sound of the early summer rain falling in June is the main part of the song. Like other New Year’s dances, this dance is bright and free. However, it takes a clever approach and creatively weaves a chic elegance into the dance.
