''Kaidô kudari'' ("[[Highways|Highway]] Journey"), also known as ''Tôgoku kudari'' ("Journey to the Eastern Provinces") is a ''[[kusemai]]'' dance-drama composed by [[Rin'ami]] specifically to be incorporated into the [[Yamato sarugaku|Yamato ''sarugaku'']] repertoire.
The drama takes the form of an extended ''[[michiyuki]]'' (travel chant/dance) incorporating numerous allusions to [[utamakura|famous placenames]], and tells the story of the journey of [[Taira no Morihisa]] from [[Kyoto]] to [[Kamakura]] after being captured by the warriors of the [[Minamoto clan]].
Elements of this dance-play were later adapted to form the [[Noh]] play ''[[Morihisa]]'', the creation of which is attributed to [[Zeami|Zeami's]] son [[Kanze Motomasa]].
