A lion dance performed to the rhythm of gongs and drums, where the lion is guided as if pulled by a lion-handler, along with a procession of children dancing the Bonden dance. The lion dance is performed in the order of male lion, female lion, and balancing lion. Held as the Shinkosai festival of Sonezaki-cho Oimatsu Shrine, it is a valuable traditional performing art that calms evil spirits of the land, purifies people, and prays for abundant harvests. Come see this distinctive folk art and feel the charm of traditional culture along with the arrival of spring.
