Kagura

Do you know "Kagura"? It's very famous traditional dance festival in Takachiho, perhaps in Japan. So many people visit Takachiho to see this festival. This was held in 22nd November to 23rd November. They dance until morning through the whole night. This dance is undecimal for Japanese mythology. My father's hometown is Takachiho so we go this festival every year. We went to Takachiho after I finished the 5th period on Monday and we visited here, 11:30 pm. I like this dance (photo) the best because she is really really really cute! Her endearing gesture is sooooo cute!! Actually, inside her is a man. Women can't go inside the Sacred Rope so only men can dance inside there. Even if inside is a man, she is really lovely so I love this dance the best. Rather, everyone likes this dance the best. This dance is a story of Izanagi and Izanami who made a country, Japan. This story is also very funny and they give us a lot of smiles and that's also the reason why I like this dance the best. They hug some people for dance and it's the funniest scene of this dance. There were more people than last year and a few foreigner was there. Someone said "Oh My God!!" and it was really funny :) Many years ago, when I was a little child, I was like a boy so at first, the woman hugged me but the man realized that I'm a girl so he hurriedly came to me and then, the man hugged me. At that time, everyone was laughing and I was really happy ^^ However, this dance is danced in very late time, like 2:00 am or sometimes 3:00 am so it's hard for children to see this dance but many children are looking forward to seeing this dance and so are adults. Please come to Takachiho once! It's worth seeing this traditional dance festival once :)
