武楽 BUGAKU – Samurai Art

With a theme of 武の美 Bunobi – beauty of martial arts and Samurai cultures – lying underneath, BUGAKU is the traditional and innovative, and also dynamic and stylish composite art that combines Japanese traditional martial arts and Japanese traditional samurai culture like Noh-theatre or tea ceremony, both of which Samurai practiced and loved.

源 光士郎 Koshiro Minamoto founded 武楽 BUGAKU in 2005, and established 武楽座 BUGAKUZA in 2006.

Since that, he and BUGAKUZA have held performances, workshops and other cultural exchange all around the world, in such as World Heritage Site Santa Croce Basilica in Florence, German Embassy and Zein Palace, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, London, Paris, Rome, Berlin, Moscow, San Paolo, Shanghai and among others.

And these years he has more performances as a soloist of Nobunaga Oda, one of the most famous and popular Samurai, with full orchestras.

In June 2019, he and BUGAKUZA joined the international theatrical prize with their BUGAKU stage “Nobunaga Kuyou” in Milan, and received the award “1st Premio del Pubblico” for the stage that gained the most votes from the audience through a year.
