There, beautiful ladies danced for the pleasure of the sultan (Arabic king) and his bezyrs( Arabic ministers). When there were diplomatic guests from China and Later (During Osman's empire) from Japan, coming to sultan's palace, they had to watch and finally they started to love the dance. That's how, firstly by vague, unsure descriptions, "belly dancing Japan" started to make a little more sense. But it was really hard to make it just from being a spectator. The girls, even, in Japan were considered as "exotic dancers" which is not true nowadays anymore.
