Emotional Performances of Children's Kabuki! Maibara Hikiyama Festival
The "Maibara Hikiyama Festival" is held every year during the three-day weekend in October, including Sports Day, in Maibara City, Shiga Prefecture.
The highlight of the festival is the "Children's Kabuki" performed on the luxurious hikiyama stage.
Children dress in authentic costumes and showcase their rehearsed performances.
This traditional event has been passed down since the Edo Period and is designated as an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Shiga Prefecture.
It is a festival that colors the autumn of Maibara, where you can witness the enthusiasm of the people surrounding the hikiyama and the pride and traditions being passed on to the next generation.
