Taro Kappa

When I approached this shore for selection or water work, I saw a colorful kappa sticking its head out of the water and peering around my waist.

Gyozan-ryu Spring Deer Dance (city-designated intangible folk cultural property)

The head with deer antlers and the long sasara carried on the back are impressive, and in Miyagi Prefecture, it is also called the ``Yakka Odori'' because it is performed in groups of eight. There are various traditions regarding its origin and transmission route, and it is divided into Gyozan-ryu, Kanazu-ryu, Kasuga-ryu, etc. The spring water is called the Gyuzan school, which is descended from the Hisada Shika dance in the Esashi area of ​​Oshu city. According to tradition, Shikaodori began in the Shiroishi/Yusui area in 1866. *Performances may be held at any time upon request, such as festivals at nearby shrines such as Komagata Shrine, and performing arts competitions.
