Yakage Kouta Dance
やかげ小唄おどり
In the height of summer, about 150 lanterns are hung along Honjin Street. The soft glow that illuminates the streets creates a sense of travel. Nationally, "hanging lanterns" are rare, with the majority being "floor-placed lanterns." In Yakage, the "hanging lanterns" fit the aesthetics, evoking the atmosphere of a post town. In line with the revival of "Yakage Kouta" after 60 years, 40 dancers, adorned in matching bamboo hats and yukatas, will perform "Yakage Kouta Dance." Through their gentle hand movements, a mysterious time is spun.
