Bimyō was a Japanese classical female dancer. Bimyō was born as the daughter of Fujiwara no Tamenari. Her father was noble in Kyoto but during the Kenkyu era, he was banished to Oshuand her mother died from grief. Seven year old Bimyō became an orphan and was taken in as a student by a shirabyōshi, where she began to learn how to dance. She began performing with the troupe throughout Japan while searching for clues about her father.
After years of training, she reached the level of a master dancer by the time she came of age. In March 1202 (Kennin 2) Minamoto no Yoriie, the shogun of the Kamakura shogunate, hosted a cherry blossom viewing party at the residence of Hiki Yoshikazu. Bimyō was summoned and performed a dance before Yoriie. At the party, Bimyō tearfully told Yoriie that she had trained in dance and traveled to the eastern provinces in order to search for her father. Everyone who heard her story was moved to tears, and it was immediately decided to send an envoy to Oshu. A few days later, Yoriie's mother, Masako, visited the shogun's palace and watched Bimyō dance. Afterwards she took Bimyō.[1] In August, the messenger who had been sent to Oshu returned, and it was revealed that Bimyō's father had already died. Bimyō broke down in tears, 10 days later, in order to pray for her father's soul, she became a nun at the Zen temple of Myoan Eisai, taking the Buddhist name Jiren. Masako took pity on Bimyō and gave her a place to live near Fukasawa village.[2]
