There is nothing similar in the vicinity. It is performed every year at the Obon Festival to appease the spirits of the ancestors and to pray for good harvest. This sasara includes a lion dance, yakko dance (samurai servants\u2019 dance), and stick dance. The tradition was interrupted before the Second World War, but was revived in 1973. The role of each lion is performed by one person; the red one is female, the black and blue ones male. Music is played 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: Takko, Shimo-Iwakawa, Mitane Town Site(s) of performance: Takko Shrine and other places in the community Date(s): August 13 and 14 Category: Sasara and Horse Dance The origin of the Takko Sasara is unclear, but it is said to have been drawn from the J\u014dsh\u016b-Ontomo Sasara of D\u014dji (Noshiro City).
