The Bon festival dance convention of the annual town association was held, and my wife also
danced last night.
Many leading as accompaniment music of a Bon festival dance is played.
There is also a place danced by the traditional raw drum, the raw samisen, and a raw leader.
An electric bass and a rhythm box may be used instead of a samisen.
Traditionally, although the method of a drum, leader, and dancer on a tower wear a yukata in many cases, casual everyday clothes may be satisfactory for a general participant.
When a dancer is the same group, a uniform yukata is worn in many cases.
Moreover, in the case of a woman, a fan may be inserted in the belt of the back.
A male may wear a headband, and may hang and dance a pillbox on the waist.
A Bon festival dance is held in the precincts of a temple and the temple of a shrine, and a park, and a night stall comes out of it on the outskirts in many cases.
Since the school became the summer vacation from yesterday, many children had gathered.
The fast food of easy Japan, such as chipped ice, octopus dumplings, and yakitori, is sold at a night stall, and scooping goldfish and a game called yoyo fishing are also made at it.
It is the "chocolate banana stall " of Hello Kitty which caught my eye last evening.
A Bon festival dance is a true symbol in autumn from summer in any areas in Japan !!
