In the Omi area surrounded by mountains on the Mikata, there is a folk performing art “Releasing the Great Sea” that can be conveyed from ancient times.
It is designated as an intangible folk cultural asset of the prefecture by a train event held on 14th and 15th August every year.
Three dancers who danced with a large fan of 3 meters in height, tied the drums to belly, and danced to match the traditional songs. In the late Heian period, the work of a departed priest who wandered with songs and nuns and buddhas became the enthusiasm of the great street after age and drew root in this place.
The ocean’s dancing dance will visit the houses of the early bowl from the evening and will circulate around the new Buddha.
Sending passages from the Kamakura period, sad tone, sounds of 鉦 and flutes will resound in the evening town.
