I heard the sound of pipe, drum, bell and gong from somewhere this morning.
It was the sound of Lion dance called Shi-shi-ma-i .
They come from Izumo in Shimane prefecture around this time of the year and they go to house to house to dance. It will bring us good luck , good health and so on.
It came to my house before noon and danced for a few minutes after giving me three kinds of notes.
By the way, this dance called I-se Da-i-ka-gu-ra is specified as an important intangible cultural heritage and formless folk customs cultural asset.
We should value cultures like this.
Do you know why they come from Simane prefecture ?
I think that the word Ise of Ise Daikagura means Mie prefecture.
Perhaps the reason why they come from Shimane prefecture is because the branch of Ise Daikagura is there.
