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.
