Kazene Matsuri (Bamboo Lantern Event)

About this event

The "Kazene Matsuri" held in Sango Town, Nara Prefecture, is an event celebrating its 11th year where you can feel history and culture. Set at Tatsuta Taisha Shrine, which enshrines the god of wind, it delivers a special night through music and lighting direction. This year, against the backdrop of the Japan Heritage story "Never Slip Again!! Go Beyond 'Kamenose', the Heart of the Tatsuta Ancient Road," the sounds of wind chimes and magical bamboo lanterns have been newly incorporated into the presentation. You can view Tatsuta Taisha Shrine in a different light, only for a few hours after sunset. The bamboo lights arranged in the precinct are lit, and wind chimes are hung, creating a magical space interwoven with reverence and faith in nature lasting since ancient times, alongside music echoing beyond eras. On the final day, amidst the bamboo lantern lights, one-night-only special performances including gagaku music, Tatsuta kagura dance, and the Hoshi Fusen Special Live will also be held. This event is a precious opportunity to fully enjoy the night of Tatsuta while feeling the fluctuations of sound and wind.
