This dance was handed down from Yamano in Satsuma (now Oguchi City), and records show that young people practiced it and petitioned the village headman in 1863 (Bunkyu 3), to be allowed to dance it for rain and bonbons in the Miyaura area. The dance is said to be a variant of Jigen-ryu, a martial art of Satsuma, but it also includes elements similar to Bon Odori, a graceful Bon Odori dance. Four 6-foot poles and 2 sickles make up one group, and any number of groups may be formed. The performances are "Dehana," "Kamakura," "Sansa-bushi," "Jigen," "Makikomi," "Katakama," and "Yamano. Depending on the performance, dancers dance in units of 3, 6, or 12, hitting each other with sticks and sickles. 《programs》 Michi-uta, Kamakura, Makikomi, Sansa-bushi, Shigenryu, Michi-uta.
