Momigi Kagura, said to have originated from Takachiho Kagura, is said to have been introduced to the Motegi district, which is one mountain away from the Mukouyama district in Shiiba Village, Miyazaki Prefecture. It started in the latter half of the Edo period (around 1800) and was unavoidably interrupted during WWII, but the residents' attachment to this kagura was so deep-rooted that the it was revived shortly after the war. Every year on the 4th Saturday and Sunday at the Momigi Shrine Grand Festival, prayers are offered for a good harvest and the kagura is performed for the gods. Omiki, sacred sake, is shared while dances wearing the mask of a demon are performed.
