“…On the other hand, there are some researches about the physical aspects in performing arts. Such as the researches for performing arts using motion capture [10], [11], [12] , the patterns of breath of the performers [13], [14], [15] , the sliding walk as Hakobi including the comparison of muscular activities of walking and floor reaction force about Nihon Buyo, Noh, and ballet [16a], [16b] , about Kyogen [17] and 3D analysis of Ryukyu dancing [18] . And analyzing the time required the authors show, in the interpretation that one step before the abrupt stopping step corresponds "Kyu" of "Jyo-Ha-Kyu" [19] .…”

This study analyzed Hakobi, the sliding walk, as one of the representative performance techniques in Japanese traditional performing arts and we tried to explain the rhythm called "Jyo-Ha-Kyu" with the quantitative data. Methods: We recorded Hakobi of 4 Kyogen performers in the video image. Performers included the person designated as a Living national treasure. Experimental conditions were controlled by time condition (T) and spatial condition (S) variously. Hakobi was examined from the viewpoint of the time requirement (A1), the number of steps (A2), time ratio of each step among the total time (A3), and the timing to step the foot forward (A4). The step that changed the speed was extracted (E1), and their skills for speed adjustment (E2) were discussed. Results: We found three remarkable skills of Kyogen performers. First; the 2nd Step or the 3rd Step was used for acceleration, and the Last Step was used for deceleration (E1). Second; not only the number of steps but also the length of step was used for adjustment of spatial condition (S). Finally; if the conditions are right, time delay on the 2nd Step or the 3rd Step was recognized (E2). By utilizing these skills, non-monotonous rhythm and tempo was produced. We identified that this rhythm and tempo were used for making "Jyo-Ha-Kyu" of Hakobi. Especially, it was suggested that a process from "Jyo" to "Ha" has regularity following natural logarithm. Conclusions: This study succeeded in clarifying that the difficulty of Hakobi of "Jyo-Ha-Kyu" depended on the embodiment of its natural logarithmic rhythm.

This paper studies motion reproducibility of a motion-copying system, which is capable of storing and reproduc ing motion of human operators. In the paper, the motion repro ducibility is expressed as transfer function from a force response of the storage phase to a force response of the reproduction phase. According to analysis of the derived transfer function, this paper confirms that the motion reproducibility is varied depending on variations of force gain, position gain, bandwidth of disturbance observer, environmental stiffness, and viscosity frictions. By the experiment, validity of the analysis method of the motion reproducibility is verified.

“…The study analyzed ankle movements, hand movements, twisting of the body, time ratio, area ratio, average speed, average acceleration, maximum angle, average speed of angle, and average acceleration of angle using shoulders, chest, hands, the pelvic area, hips, and ankles in a timeseries of coordinate values. Finally, motion analysis was used as a tool for classifying styles and differences in proficiency in schools of Japanese traditional dance [25].…”

Some female dance forms of Japanese traditional dance was performed by three male dancers and measured using video cameras and motion capture system. One hundred eighty-nine observers evaluated both their impressions (67 dimensions) and the dance movements (38 characteristics). The results showed that observers recognized the "feminine" performance of male dancers. The impressions of Dignified, Fluent, Unsteady, Equal, Nimble, and Asymmetric--and the movement characteristics Magnitude of Hip Rotation and Slow Movement of Limbs, Asymmetry of Torso Movement and Small Arm Movements, Slow Movement of Chest, and Back Tilt Using Lower Back--were extracted via factor analysis as determinants of observers' perceptions of femininity in the expressions. Covariance structure analysis indicated that the magnitude of hip rotation and slow movement of limbs, asymmetry of torso movements and small arm movements, slow movement of the chest, and back tilt using lower back, to create Dignified, Asymmetric, and Equal impressions affected the perceptions of femininity in Japanese traditional dance. This study showed the elements of femininity of female dance form in Japanese traditional dance by male dancers.
