About this event
The 36th Demachi Joruri Convention is an event held in Tonami City where visitors can experience traditional culture. Serving as a recital for the joruri (dramatic puppet-theater narrative music) that supports the Demachi Children's Kabuki, this convention provides a venue to showcase the results of a full year of practice. This time, in addition to joruri, the ohayashi musical accompaniment (taiko drums, tsuzumi hand drums, and flutes) that brilliantly colors kabuki will also be performed. Admission is free, offering an easy way to experience the rich traditional culture of Tonami on a late autumn day. The Demachi Children's Kabuki Hikiyama (festival float) is also widely cherished as a seasonal tradition heralding the arrival of spring in Tonamino, showcasing a festival culture rooted in the local community.
