Tiger dance at first noon festival

Tiger dance at first noon festival

Event Overview

The Naka-Nitta area of Kami-cho was frequently hit by heavy fires due to strong winds blowing from the Ou Mountains in early spring. It is believed that the fire-down tiger dance that is transmitted to this district from the Muromachi period is similar to the story of "The Clouds follow the dragon, and the Wind follows the tiger", and the tiger's power was used to quell the wind and pray for the fire-down. On the road, colorful floats and tigers mash around the town, praying for disaster prevention and home safety in each house. In front of the Hanarakuji Festival headquarters, several tigers on the high roof perform brave dances.
