The World Connected to Nature: Song, Festival, Form

About this event

Through two distinct cultures handed down across different regions—the Izanagi-ryu tradition passed down in Monobe-cho, Kami City, Kochi Prefecture, and Ainu culture from Lake Akan, Hokkaido—this event allows participants to experience the connection between humans and nature. A variety of workshops will be held, including performing sacred kagura dances, cutting gohei paper streamers, playing the traditional Ainu instrument "mukkuri," and singing and dancing to Ainu folk songs. By engaging with tradition, moving the body, and listening to songs and prayers, attendees can sense a world that coexists with nature. The event provides an opportunity to reconsider the relationship between humanity, nature, and unseen beings, learning through embodied physical practice.
