Sea

Group piece presented during Part One of the Third Kazuo Ohno Modern Dance Recital in November 1951.
The programme indicates that Debussy's music was used, but no photographs or other documentation remain, so we can only guess at the content from the programme text. There is no cast list for this piece.

Composition (from the programme):
A: Nocturne 
  A nocturne of the sea as seen through a prism
B: Sea
  The peacefulness of a soul walking quietly by the sea, and the anxieties and emptiness created by the projection of light.
C: View
  A view of the harbour with shimmering sails and seagulls flying by

Performers:
Suzuko Nozawa, Kiyoko Ito, Funi Hashimoto, Seiko Hakamada, Shinji Kobayashi, Ayako Taniguchi, Michie Kajigaya, Noriko Miyamoto, Keiko Yamamoto, Akemi Ishizuka, Toko Yakoh, Yoko Iwamoto, Masako Asaoka, Hideko Inazumi, Kunihiko Fujii, Kazuo Ohno
