– Summary –
The Miyako Folk Performing Arts Festival is Miyako City’s signature folk performing arts festival and will be held for the 13th time this year. Miyako City is home to 30 folk performing arts, including “Kuromori Kagura,” a nationally designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Asset, each with its own unique characteristics and charm. We present a selection of the best of these folk arts. Miyako City, one of the largest cities in Iwate Prefecture, is home to a wide variety of folk performing arts that have been handed down in the Kawai, Niisato, Taro, and Miyako areas. Kagura, Sansa dance, Shishi-Odori, Kenbai (Sword Dance), and Nanatsu-mono (Seven Tools) have different dance styles and costumes between the Kitakami mountain range and the coastal areas. Please enjoy the breadth of these folk performing arts.
