Awaodori Kaikan

Halfway after the era of Obon arrived in Japan, which was a time when our ancestors returned to their world and everyone returned to their homes to be with their families. During this time, each town had a festival of Bon-Odori, a dance of sacred origin (which is now seen as something festive), where everyone in the town comes together to celebrate the company of their ancestors. Well, the Awa-Odori is something like this, but its beauty and magnificence has not gone unnoticed, even to the Japanese. It's originally from Tokushima on Shikoku Island, south of Kansai, but because of its fame elsewhere, dance reproductions have happened all over the nation, with the most famous being the one in Koenji (Tokyo).
