Sōran Bushi (Hokkaido Fishing Song)

Ah yes, the joys of the simple seafaring life. The charming folk dance Sōran Bushi originated with the local fishing traditions of Japan’s northern Hokkaido region, where local fishmongers would sing and work, synchronizing their movements to their song.

This tradition was given new life in the 90’s, when a Japanese folk dance troupe won an award for its rendition of Sōran Bushi. The dance has been popular at Japanese festivals and schools throughout Japan ever since. With movements that simulate crashing waves, the pulling of nets, and lifting heavy objects you can almost smell the salt in the air.

This dance was performed by Fei Tian College students as part of their 2021 Chinese New Year party.
