Kitakami City Museum of Demons Folk Performing Arts Performance (November)

About this event

Kitakami City Onino Yakata (Museum of Demons) hosts regular performance events of "Onikenbai" (Demon Sword Dance), a traditional folk performing art handed down in Iwate Prefecture. Each performance has a set theme, allowing visitors to deeply understand the origins and transmission activities of Onikenbai. On Sunday, November 22, 2026, the Futago Onikenbai troupe will perform and provide commentary titled "Characteristics of Movement (Shosa)," focusing on foot movements through a comparison between Sannin Kago or Hitorin Kago and Kitsune Kenbai. Viewing the performance is free of charge, but a separate admission fee is required to tour the Onino Yakata exhibition rooms. Take this opportunity to fully experience the appeal of Onikenbai, a local traditional performing art.
