[Shimane/Onsentsu] Private Iwami Kagura experience limited to 1 group per day - Sake pairing and interaction with dancers at a historic shrine

19:30

Pairing of sake and Iwami Kagura One of the highlights of this program is that you can enjoy sake from Wakabayashi Sake Brewery, a brewery in Onsentsu Town, Shimane Prefecture, which has been in business for over 100 years, as a pairing sake to go with the program. Originally, Iwami Kagura had the meaning of sharing the divine virtues by sharing and enjoying the sake offered at the shrine. We recommend that you learn about the differences in sake, which have subtle changes in taste and aroma depending on the season, and enjoy the taste of sake that matches the four seasons with each Iwami Kagura performance. At this time, everyone will be able to use the Kagura cup, which is made by hand in the same way as the Sekishu tiles unique to the Iwami region, and you can take this home as a souvenir.

Private Kagura performance limited to 1 group per day This is a private kagura performance limited to one group per day. Enjoy Iwami Kagura as a private performance reserved for small groups of up to 10 people. Depending on the length of each program, we will perform two to three programs, including the popular program Ebisu and Orochi. Iwami Kagura is a once-in-a-lifetime event that is performed from a distance that allows you to almost touch the audience in the front row, and involves the audience as well. Dancers wearing costumes weighing tens of kilograms require tremendous physical strength and physicality. I don't think there is any other place that gives the dancers and the audience such a sense of ``life''.

Deep interaction with performers This is a special time. You will be able to deepen your understanding of Iwami Kagura by interacting with the dancers who have been dancing on the stage, experiencing wearing costumes and music, and interacting with the performers. The performers include a variety of performers, including Iwami Kagura mask artisans, fifth graders, city hall employees, truck drivers, and the president of a plumber. Among the 5th grade performers, Iwami Kagura is more fun than soccer. She says she wants to become a dancer in the future as well. I want to do it because I like it and it's cool, not because I'm forced or obligated to do it. Many customers said that the point that impressed them most was that it was a valuable value in terms of passing on traditional culture. The immersive experience of peeking into Iwami Kagura, which is rooted in the lives of the Iwami region, concludes with direct communication with the performer.
