What is Kagura?

in #japanese7 years ago

Kagura is a wonderful Japanese folk performing art.
The Japanese ancestors believed that everything that happened in the world is due to God.
Since ancient times,
the ancestors greeted God when there was a wish and had performed Kagura and prayed to God.
Eventually, it came to be called "Kagura".

The element of entertainment has grown now.
But the meaning of thanking God has not changed.
Kagura is inherited especially in Hiroshima.
