【Story】

Even though one can live without dancing...

In 1374, a turbulent era where the Southern and Northern Courts fought for supremacy, Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the Great General of the Conquest of the East for the Northern Court, was steadily consolidating his power.

Oniyasha, the son of Kannami, the head of the Kanze troupe that performs Sarugaku. While harboring a vague question, 'Why do people dance?', he spent his days in a gloomy mood, but one day he encountered a 'good' dance.

This beautiful boy, full of curiosity, meets people, laughs, cries, and confronts his own pathetic self, while shaping a new dance that lives in this impermanent world—.
