A lion dance called 'Ise Daikagura' which is designated as one of 'the important country intangible folk customs cultural assets' came to my house yesterday.There are some groups and go around mainly Western Japan.
One group visits one district once a year.
The one that came to my house yesterday visits in spring every year.
A lion danced to the pipe, drum, bell and gong for a few minutes at the yard after giving us some charms.
Then they went to the next house.
As it costs some money, not all the people ask them to dance.
This is also one of the things which reprts the visit of spring.
I am a begginer of photo.
I began taking pictures around last June so I am glad to read your words.
It doesn't care at all if you want.
Please use it.
Please let me use it as a wallpaper of my PC.
In the northern country where I live, spring is late in coming, and the daffodils in my garden are now only a few centimeters long.
Christmas-roses in my yard are also full bloom. It is the color same again.
This is a traditional spring event.
April comes on tomorrow after the lion dance.
A cherry tree also begins to bloom and full-scale spring comes.
I made a trackback to my blog.
