Plain Text
Quick guide to Japanese Anji Terms & Origins:
Anji represents the dancing stylings of Mai (舞), which is a genre of traditional dance in Japan that emphazises reserved gestures and incorporating circling motions into the dance, keeping the body low to the ground and the energy of the body being especially concentrated. Of note, the dance stylings of Jiuta mai (地唄舞) specifically. Which is a styling of pure 'mai' (舞) which orginates from the pleasure quarters of Osaka and Kyoto. These dances are usually very reserved and refined, combining abstract circling motions and fan movements with concentrated pantomime.
