Iwami Kagura (ancient Shinto dance) from Shimane Prefecture was performed on the eve of Festival at Yasaka Shrine again this year. This is my most favorite event of all, because I was born and grew up in Shimane, literally grew up with Kagura dance and music!
Among five performances, the Kyoto-related story of "Benkei and Ushiwakamaru" was included this year. Benkei received loud applause when he came on stage.
I wanted to upload more photos, but unfortunately they didn't turn out very well.
