Hanezu refers to a soft pink color that is close to white. It alludes to the color of fresh plum blossoms that appear during late March. Celebrating the blooming of the beautiful flowers, Hanezu dance is performed by young girls in matching kimono. One of the songs is about the legendary poet Ono no Komachi, who was renowned as a great beauty in Japanese history. Four showtimes are scheduled during the day at 11am, 12:30pm, 1:30pm, and 3pm.
