As to the origin of the dance here, some say it was first performed by General Sakanoue-no-Tamuramaro in the 9th century to express the vicissitudes of war. Others say it was first performed in the 17th century to entertain lower-class samurais at their lodges when the Satake clan made a long journey from Hitachi Province (present-day Ibaraki Prefecture) to Akita. The dance is now performed to pray for bumper crops at local Shinto festivals. To enter the stage, the performers make what is called a Daimy\u014d-gy\u014dretsu (daimyo\u2019s procession) with flags, banners, naginata (long swords), carrying trunks, and other items of decoration, joined by dancers of shishimai (lion dance) and the yakko dance (samurai servants\u2019 dance). The lion dance is performed by three lions, each performed by one person. Music is produced by drums and Japanese flutes.<\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/sasara\">Sasara and Horse Dance (Koma-Odori)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: Kamimura-Shita, Kami-Koani Village Site(s) of performance: Kumano Shrine Date(s): August 13 Category: Sasara and Horse Dance This dance is performed every year on August 13 at the occasion of Obon (an annual Japanese Buddhist event for commemorating one\u2019s ancestors).
