Poster｜Ichikawa Kagura(Hachinohe)
A 92-year-old elder and a 19-year-old dancer.
In his head, the elder has songs and dances that he hasn’t been able to pass down to next generation.
He had to walk several hours to the next village to master the songs and dances when he was young.
Now since he’s older and can’t move well, he can’t teach the dances.
There are very few young dancers who dance this form of Kagura.
One young member is worried that Kagura from this village will disappear if he doesn’t continue.
There are feelings of both hope and pressure between the elder and the young dancer.
It’s possible that the elder won’t be able to pass down all the songs and dances.
But even without these, there is something else that is passed on that cannot be put into words.
It is something mysterious and intangible that can only be experienced by Kagura practitioners.
