YOAGAKI was founded by Hino Korogi in 2021 during the confusion and restrictions of the COVID-19 pandemic. We create works of performing arts with themes rooted in Japanese ancient religion and mythology. Our projects reimagine new religions and customs, drawing inspiration from Japan's traditional beliefs, rituals, and dances to depict women and other persecuted individuals joyfully breaking oppressive structures. This new faith reflects the rigidity of Japanese society, which often suppresses individuality for the sake of the community. Those who resist are portrayed as embodying the spirit of those who continue to act in a fragile society.
