Otasho Festival / Kabutoyama 20th Ebisu

Multi day event
August 19, 2024 (Month)
    ~August 20, 2024 (Fire)

*The Otasho Festival will be held only on Monday, August 19th.


*The Kobutsu Ebisu Festival will be held only on Tuesday, August 20th.


 


What is the Otasho Festival?

This festival conveys the traditional culture of Sera Town, and is named after Otasho, a manor that flourished on the Sera Plateau in the Middle Ages.

Please come and enjoy the dynamic dance and musical performances by the groups that Sera Town is proud of.


<What is Nijūjitsu Ebisu?>

It is believed that the "20th Ebisu Summer Festival" was created by combining the memorial service for Kobo Daishi's portrait and Kannon memorial service at Mount Koya, which are held on the 20th of each month, and the summer festival at Ebisu Shrine.

Approximately 30,000 spectators come to enjoy the summer festival, taking in the non-stop kyogen performances and the many outdoor stalls.


What is Niwaka Kyogen?

Hakata Niwaka and Mino Niwaka are famous throughout the country, but what makes Kabutoyama Niwaka unique is the so-called "nagashi niwaka," where the float is stopped in the middle of the street and the performance takes place inside a rope.


The content of Niwa Kyogen plays can be broadly divided into two categories: historical plays and new plays (also called shinpa or modern plays), but all of them have a punch line at the end of the play.

After the punchline is delivered, the story ends with the crowd cheering, "That's just a joke."


During the Meiji and Taisho periods, the main themes were Kabuki-style, but since then, there have been more contemporary, period pieces, and satire of the times.

Many contemporary works incorporate the hot topics of the year, making them easy to understand and entertaining.


Niwaka can be written in various ways, such as "Niwaka", but it also has the meaning of "suddenly" or "niwaka ni", and there are cases where spectators join in and enjoy the performance, or where the performance is performed without much rehearsal.


Lines are skipped and replayed during the performance, but because this is purely amateurish acting, this actually brings out the fun in the spontaneous improvisation.
