The photo is not of a blue sky, but of a drum stand illuminated by lights in the pitch black darkness. The gold and silver threads shine and the tassels sway violently, which is truly gorgeous and magnificent.

UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage "Ara Odori" on Sunday, September 29 Ara Odori took place on Sunday, September 29 🐵💫 The sunny weather was almost hot and great for photos, but I imagine it was truly tough for everyone who spent the whole day dancing in costume. Well done to all of you 👏 I was amazed to see so many people each memorizing their roles, dances, and songs to perform a single dance together 😳✨ Elementary school students joined in and danced Ara Odori partway through, and it moved me to see this tradition being passed down to people of all ages 🥹 I heard that Ara Odori used to ban women long ago, but even as the form has changed with the times, I felt a strong community spirit to protect the tradition together 💪✨ Today, students from Gokase Junior High School, who hope to share more of Gokase Town’s charm and traditions and make the town more vibrant, spent the whole day filming the Ara Odori on video for us 📸💡 We should be able to share that video soon, so look forward to it 🤗💕

Nursery school children dressed in juvenile costumes Adult and elementary and junior high school students followed me and walked hard. It took about two and a half hours to finish the whole tour. I usually travel by Car even in the Village. It's been a long time since I've walked this yellowtail. The Lion Dance Team Lives at Home It seems that they went around one by one, and it took more than twice as long. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. Even though I walked around so much Elementary school students are in good spirits at the sumo wrestling tournament! I will do my best to earn pocket money to enjoy the evening performance. It's a serious game, but It was a sumo wrestling tournament full of smiles. It was a day when the whole village was dyed in festivals.
