| Research Abstract |
In my previous studies, I have paid attention to modern Confucianism's educational thoughts and the scholars' state of being as educationalists, and I realized that the modern era's educational method remains even now in the world of traditional entertainment.
In this study, among Japanese traditional entertainment skills, the world of Japanese Buyo dance is examined. I have related to Buyo dance since infancy, I thought I can carry out internal examination different from objective viewpoint from the outside.

Though it is Buyo dance, it is not concentrated only to posture as a style, but also gave priority to literature (story) to be realistic and mental Buyo drama.
In other words, Koisaburo most intended "popularization" of Japanese Buyo dance. Though he was said to be a "master, " the social evaluation at that time for Koisaburo's skill and achievement was not truly evaluated. Japan need to cultivate the cultural ground and nationality to be able to fairly evaluate a true art. Traditonal entertainment education will show its ability to support the lifetime-education society after this, and cultivate "sensitivity" that we have lost. Less
