October 23, 24 11:00 am- 3:00 pm ★

大船渡市越喜来(おきらい)、浦浜念仏剣舞(けんばい)と金津流浦浜獅子躍(ししおどり)を、会長の古水力さんに習う。習うメンバーは、セシリア、マニシア、東京からバレエダンサーの前田新奈さん、太鼓奏者の上杉美穂さんとJCDN北本の5人の女性。サポート役として、息子の州さん、葬儀屋のヒロシさん。順番が逆なのだが、本日行った”獅子躍を習う”から紹介させてください。通常、頭をつけるまで1年以上かかるが、特別最後に頭までつけさせていただいた。

We learned Kenbai (Sword Dance) and Kanazu style Urahama Shishi Odori from chairman Chikara Furumizu in Okirai, Ofunato city. The members learning this dance were 5 women- Cecilia, Manishia, Nina Maeda (a ballet dancer from Tokyo), Taiko drummer Miho Uesugi, and JCDN’s Kitamoto. His son Shu and Hiroshi, from the funeral home, were there as supporting roles. The order will be opposite than how they were done, but please let me begin with “Learning the Shishi Odori” which we did today. Usually it takes more than one year until you can put on the headpiece, but they made an exception and let us try on the headpieces at the end.
