We went to a school performance which featured multiple dance and drumming circles on campus.

荒馬緒 arauma-chiyo: Is a circle (club) whose dance is a Japanese traditional dance called Arauma from Aomori prefecture. It shows gratitude to the horse for helping with cultivating a field for harvest.




エイサー団いちゃりば eisa-dan ichariba: Is a drumming group originating in Okinawa. Eisa is a form of folk dance whose origin is a Bon dance. It is commonly seen during Bon festivals to honor ancestor spirits back into their homes! Please fast forward past the talking.





よっしゃ虎威 yossha-koi: A traditional dance from Kochi prefecture. This group has made it modern, makes their own costumes and songs. They performed twice but the second time was my favorite.


 

I had to turn the shutter speed up they were moving so fast!

和太鼓"楽" wadaiko-raku: Is the taiko drumming group on campus. They are very intense and taiko can ware you out! My friend is in it and her practices take up most of her free time!
