Is it a dance only for women or do Japanese men not dance?. What symbolism underlies this dance?. I find the movement of arms and hands very interesting and dancing in a kimono makes a lot of sense to the dance, and the circular disposition of people moving around a central stage.
I'm not an expert on Okinawan traditions (I live all the way in northern Japan) but I believe this dance is only for women. And from what I've read, the The lyrics to Asadoya Yunta originated from a story where a beautiful lady from Taketomi Island, known as Asato Kuyama, received a wedding proposal from a Ryukyuan government official who came from another island. In one version of the story, the woman bravely rejects the proposal as she felt as if marrying a local man from her island would provide a better life than to become a mistress of this official. In another version, Kuyama ends up marrying him. The first version is popular in the Okinawa Islands whereas the latter version is popular in Taketomi
