It is performed for purification and bumper crops. The lion also visits the other members of the community. The performance starts with a song of Shizuka-bushi, and then the lion performs the Jimai dance and then the main lion dance. The Jimai dance replicates the dance of Amenouzume in the myth of Amaterasu\u2019s seclusion in a cave, which attracted Amaterasu (the Sun God) out of the cave and saved the world.<\/p>\n<p>About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/shishimai\">Shishimai and Bangaku<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: Iwaki-Tomita, Yurihonjo City Site(s) of performance: Gassan Shrine, the house in charge of the festival, and the other places in the community Date(s): 4th Saturday and Sunday of April Designation: City-Designated Intangible Folkloric Cultural Property Category: Shishimai and Bangaku The Gassan Shrine Lion Dance (also known as Tomita Lion Dance) is performed in the &hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"read-more\"> <a class=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/571-2\/\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Gassan Shrine Lion Dance<\/span> Read More &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[187],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24790","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-shishimai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24790","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24790"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24790\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24790"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24790"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.akita-minzoku-geino.jp\/archives\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24790"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
