Teaching Personality With Gracefulness cover

This book includes both a description and a discussion of the methods used by Kanriye Fujima, a member of the Fujima school of Japan, to teach Nihon Buyon to primarily Japanese-Americans. Sellers-Young discusses Fujima's life as a teacher in three Pacific Northwest communities, providing an explanation of her teaching processes and contexts of performances.

No one else has provided us with a book in English that begins to answer the questions Barbara Sellers-Young addresses about Japanese dance....This book gives us much to be thankful for. -- Kenneth Aldrich, California State University, Fresno * Dance Research Journal *
Sellers-Young is at once scholarly and readable. [Her book] is both an ethnographic study and a journal of personal growth. -- Kenneth Aldrich, California State University, Fresno
