About this event

Kitakami Municipal Oni no Yakata holds regular performances of the traditional folk performing art 'Onikenbai' (Demon Sword Dance). Each performance has a set theme, introducing the origins and transmission activities of the folk art. In November, under the theme 'Shrine Worship Dance' (Jinja Sanpai no Mai), a performance recreating the manner of a shrine visit and presenting the Niban-niwa will be performed by Namerida Onikenbai. Additionally, on November 22, under the theme 'Characteristics of Movement' (Shosa no Tokucho), a performance focusing on explaining foot movements, such as a comparison between Sannin Kago or Hitorin Kago and Kitsune Kenbai (Fox Sword Dance), will be conducted by Futago Onikenbai. These performances are free to watch, but an admission fee is required to tour the Oni no Yakata exhibition rooms.
