◼️About Iwami Kagura in Hamada
Iwami Kagura, a form of traditional Japanese dance handed down in the Iwami region of western Shimane Prefecture, currently has around 140 Kagura groups, with Hamada City having the most, with over 50 groups. In 2019, "The mythical world of gods and demons in action - Kagura handed down in the Iwami region" was recognized as a Japanese Heritage Site, and in 2022, Hamada City's Iwami Kagura will hold a solo performance at the National Theater, a hall of fame for traditional performing arts, where 50 giant snakes will fill the stage with a spectacular dance. This is a traditional performing art that continues to challenge itself while protecting its traditions.
With their gorgeous costumes, expressive masks, and skillfully manipulated snake bodies, the heroic Iwami Kagura dance accompanied by the clear sound of flutes and lively music captivates all who see it.
