Den Tokyo is a performing arts company sharing the wonder and beauty of traditional Japanese arts and culture with the world.

Traditional Japanese arts like Japanese dance, tea ceremony, and koto music have been passed down through generations for hundreds of years. They are imbued with history, stories, and cultural heritage, so are important cultural assets. If lost, it is difficult to regenerate such artforms—in particular, performance art, which is expressed through movement of the human body and takes place in a temporary moment. It is our mission to both pass on these Japanese cultural legacies to the next generation, and to connect them with local and global audiences.

Den Tokyo is available for performances all over the world. We have a team of talented, experienced artists who work across many different artistic genres. Beyond performances, we are also available for other activities and workshops, and able to deliver this in a wide range of spaces, such as gymnasiums, theatres, schools and outdoor venues.
