=={{transliteration|ja|Nihon buyō}}== {{main|Nihon-buyō{{!}}''Buyō''}} [[File:Japan-Kyoto-Geisha.jpg|thumb|left|Two {{transliteration|ja|[[maiko]]}} performing a dance]] {{transliteration|ja|Nihon buyō}} is different from most other traditional dances.<ref name="nihonbuyou">[http://www.nihonbuyou.or.jp/english/nihonbuyo.htm The Japanese Classical Dance Association Inc.|What is nihon buyo?]. Nihonbuyou.or.jp. Retrieved on 2012-03-13. {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060707171644/http://www.nihonbuyou.or.jp/english/nihonbuyo.htm |date=July 7, 2006}}</ref> It is intended for entertainment on stage. {{transliteration|ja|Nihon buyō}} is a refined dance that has been improved throughout four centuries.<ref name="nihonbuyou" /> There are four parts to {{transliteration|ja|nihon buyō}}, the most significant part being kabuki {{transliteration|ja|buyō}}.<ref name="nihonbuyou" /> Most of the repertoire has been borrowed from 18th and 19th century kabuki theatre and even from the {{transliteration|ja|[[yūkaku]]}} (pleasure quarters) of [[Edo Japan]].<ref name=buckley /> {{transliteration|ja|Nihon buyō}} was created directly from kabuki {{transliteration|ja|buyō}} before it became theater. The second part of {{transliteration|ja|nihon buyō}} is Noh.<ref name="nihonbuyou" /> {{transliteration|ja|Nihon buyō}} takes a few key elements from Noh such as the circular movements and the tools used in its dances. The third part of these dances comes from the folk dances; the spinning and jumping used in folk dances was incorporated into {{transliteration|ja|nihon buyō}}. The last part came from a mixture of European and American culture that is found in Japan today.<ref name="nihonbuyou" /> {{transliteration|ja|Nihon buyō}} did not reach its present form until the [[Meiji Restoration]] of 1868 during a time when Western dance forms were being introduced to Japan. Thus, the present day form of {{transliteration|ja|nihon buyō}} was influenced by dance forms like [[ballet]].<ref name=buckley />
