There is a reverence in ancient,
and in modern Japanese culture
for the constellation that we call
the Pleiades.
As with the ancient Japanese traditions,
the Pleiades is considered to be their
ancestral home, as with many ancient,
non-assimilated indigenous cultures,
spanning the globe.
The Pleiades constellation, in Japanese
is called "Subaru".
If you own or come across a Subaru
automobile, check out the grille.
It is a representation of the Pleiades
constellation.
This dance piece is special. It is a
staggeringly beautiful light and dance
performance piece, choreographed and
performed by Saya Watatani and Maki
Yokoyama, directed, with light animations
produced by Nobuyuki Hanabusa and Seiya
Ishii and music by Nobuyuki Hanabusa.
