Introduction of the Kaguradan/
Since Iwami Kagura was introduced to the area in the Edo Tempo period, Minuchi Kagura has inherited its history and tradition to the present while incorporating old dances and new dances from the Yamagata family. In Showa 38, the program “Goryuo” handed down by the Minuchi Kagura Troupe was designated as a Hiroshima Prefectural Folk Intangible Cultural Property. Currently, we are receiving calls from local and various places such as Autumn Festival dedication kagura, various events, and competitions held in various places. In addition, the Minuchi Children's Kagura Troupe has been established since 2006, striving to train successors, and performing at facility consolations and events. In the future, all the members of the adult and children will continue to work on mastering the art even further, and devote themselves to the inheritance and development of traditional culture while valuing the history and traditions left by our predecessors.
We are currently recruiting members. Anyone who likes, is interested, experienced, or inexperienced in kagura is also welcome. Men, women, children and adults should first wake them up to practice/performance tours.
