It was a very cold day yesterday, but I went to see " Koujin Kagura " a kind of Bittyu Kagura held in the neighborhood.
It seems to be one of the most important in the national designated intangible folk cultural property.
It was held from 4:00 in the afternoon to 11:00 at night.
I watched it from around 8:00 p.m.
There were free services for "oden" and " hot noodle" in the cold open air.
There was a bonfire too.
During the performance, many rice-cakes and cookies were thrown to the audience.
These are photoes from the middle of the play.
