It is said that Sasara Odori began around 200 years ago. It is held once every five years, and memorial services are held for those who have passed away in the past five years.
We left the former Tategami Fisheries Cooperative Association and entered the Yakushido Square. Adults wearing kasagi robes entered at the front.
Before the Sasara dance, everyone holds a memorial service. On the first day, a memorial service was held for the New Bon Festival, and on the second day, a memorial service was held for the deceased.
"Sasara" is a musical instrument made from split bamboo. Elementary school students in yukata and Hanagasa hats form a circle and dance to the sound of ``Sasara'' to the sound of Kanko (small drum).
On the outside, two boufuri dance with bamboo sticks wrapped in white cloth, and towards the end of the dance they run around in time with the conch shell and clap each other.
In addition to ``Sasara,'' children also pick up ``Kokiriko.''
