嶽之枝尾神楽 について
Date of public holiday First Saturday and Sunday of December every year
Place: Take-no-Edao shrine or private house
Take-no-Edao Kagura is said to be a valuable tradition with many performances that are unique in the country, such as Shuku-roben, Shuuninobiki Onijin and Hoshi-shi. Practice is called 'narashi' and used to be held at private houses in the three villages on a rotating basis, but after the reconstruction of the dance hall at the Take-no-Edao Shrine in 1968, it is now mainly held at the shrine.
Take-no-Edao Kagura includes the Taira Matsuri and the 33rd Shite-no Daisai, and after the relocation, the Shite-no Daisai, which used to be held once every three years to preserve the Kagura, is now held from the first Saturday to Sunday in December every year. The shimen is a high altar in the centre of the outer shrine building with a blue shibagaki fence, on both sides of which are set up six large treasure shimen, twelve in all, decorated with gohei (a Shinto staff), red and white antiques, and mikasa (hats representing the sun and moon). The night kagura is characterised by the violent taiko drumming of the hachoshiki and quiet dancing, and the kagura seri songs and musical accompaniment by women called goyaseki enliven the night kagura.
