古枝尾神楽 について

Huruedao was divided into an upper and lower group, which took turns to be in charge of the kagura inn, but now it is executed at the Huruedao Assembly Centre.
The masks are five masks: teriki, onigami, shibibiki, todori and shiro-men (mesho masks). Two of these masks, Shibibiki and Totori, are estimated to have been produced in the early modern period. There is a legend that the Teryoku and Totori masks fought over the Mesho mask, and it is said that this is why the colouring on the right cheek of the Mesho mask has peeled off, so only the Teryoku mask has been kept separately.
