History explores the origins of Noh theater
The World Is Dancing is a historical manga by Kazuto Mihara, published in Kodansha's Morning magazine between 2021 and 2022. The story takes place in 1374 and follows Oniyasha, a young man involved in sarugaku theater, who begins to question the meaning of dance.
After witnessing a remarkable performance, his perspective changes completely. The narrative follows his evolution until he becomes Zeami, a historical figure who directly influenced the development of Noh theater in Japan. The anime adapts this journey with an artistic and historical focus.
