Saikoku kudari ("Journey to the Western Provinces") is a kusemai dance drama by Rin'ami, with music by Kan'ami, composed specifically for the Yamato sarugaku repertoire.

The dance-drama relates a story of the Taira clan fleeing west after being driven out of Kyoto by the Minamoto clan during the Genpei War.
