Kanagawa Re-Classical Project in Yamato

About this event

Announced on the official Kanagawa Prefecture website, the "Kanagawa Re-Classical Project in Yamato" is an initiative that brings together precious folk performing arts thriving in the central area of the prefecture to present them anew as contemporary cultural arts. Taking place at Yamato Cultural Arts Hall, a variety of traditional performing arts will be showcased, including the local Yamato City "Yakuoin Soban Nembutsu," Sagamihara City's "Oshima Lion Dance," Aikawa Town's "Mimase Lion Dance," Ayase City's "Sagami Sasara Dance," and Ebina City's "Ebina Festival Music." This project is conducted utilizing the Agency for Cultural Affairs' Cultural Arts Promotion Subsidy. In addition to hall performances, a gallery exhibition will be held featuring panel displays conveying the charm of central Kanagawa's folk performing arts, quiz rallies, and prop displays. Furthermore, on the east-side promenade in front of Yamato Station, special street processional performances of the "Mimase Lion Dance" and "Oshima Lion Dance" will take place, allowing visitors to experience traditional dancing up close. All of these events are free to attend.
