Japanese traditional dance "nihon-buyo" is a part of "kabuki" called "shosa-mono" which means movement. Yoko Namishima left Nihon-buyo school and created her own stage performance, and became a representative of「Shin-buyo」which is a new style of dancing. Her concept is to promote the Japanese spirit of harmony and hospitality through the dance and she is involved as an instructor of dancing, sword battling and kimono dressing in performances held all over the country and across the world .
