About this event
The '34th Kagura Festival' brings together seven Kagura troupes from Saeki Ward, Hiroshima City, welcoming the Iinan Kagura Troupe (Iinan Town, Shimane Prefecture) as a special guest. The event showcases the charm of kagura as a stage performing art in an indoor auditorium. In addition to the traditional Juni Jingi repertoire, the program features grand, highlight-filled pieces such as 'Tsuchigumo' (The Earth Spider) and 'Yamata no Orochi' (The Eight-Forked Serpent). The Iinan Kagura Troupe is scheduled to perform 'Hodohara Nyudo'. Marking its 34th edition, the soulful performances expressing gratitude for long-standing support are a must-see. In the venue gallery, a panel exhibition introducing video footage will also be held from Monday (national holiday), November 23 to Sunday, November 29.
