Kuwanouchi Shrine Night Kagura & Kotono Shrine Night Kagura
From the evening of January 10 into the morning of January 11, the Kuwanouchi Shrine Night Kagura and the Kotono Shrine Night Kagura were safely offered again this year 👹
I can still hear the drumbeat pounding in the back of my ears and the clear, high sound of the flute ringing in my mind 😆
You could hear the dancers’ breathing, see children watching intently, and feel the atmosphere of kagura as locals and returnees to Gokase gathered together ✨
We were treated to another wonderful performance this year 🥰
This beautiful night was made possible by the preservation society members who trained diligently, the local women’s association who served warm meals and drinks through the night, and the officers and staff who worked tirelessly to ensure smooth operations.
The smiles of the visitors who return to this place each year exist because of the devoted support of these community members 👏
We would be happy to watch over this proud Gokase kagura tradition with you again next year and the year after 💕
Thank you very much to everyone who came from afar in the cold!
