Nihon Buyo (lit. 'Japanese dance') is a style of dance based on techniques associated with the kabuki theater. Although Nihon Buyo is performed by male or female dancers, it is deeply rooted in the male-only kabuki traditions, and it is likely that the subject of this painting was young actor training with the kabuki theater.
