Historical background (Chinese description below)

This Bon dance is performed to see off the spirits of the ancestors. It consists of two parts, Jinku and Dai no Saka. Jinku originates from the dance called Jingo Odori, which was performed to entertain warriors who returned from combat about 450 years ago. Dai no saka has been performed since around 1657. It was introduced under the influence of Nenbutsu Dance (Buddhist Prayer Dance) of Kyoto. The Kemanai Jonkara dance was later added, and today all these dances make up the Bon dance here. After the Shirane Gold mine was found near Kemanai around 1598, the merchants came from Kansai area of Japan, and new towns were established, which made the scale of Bon festival greater. Although the festival was initially held in each town one night, it is now held jointly at Komose street from August 21 to 23  every year.

Characteristics

As the mark of begining of this performance, Yobi Daiko(Drum) is played at 7:30, and dancers start to gather. At 8 pm, they start to dance. The first performance is Dai no Saka. It is played only on Japanese drums and flutes. An elegant dance to solemn music is derived from the Buddhist dance intended to calm the souls of ansestors who come to our world from the other side duing the Buddhist All Soul's Day and return them to the other side. The second performance is Jinku, which does not have musical accompaniment but has a song with lyrics in the pattern of 7-7-7-5 Japanese characters. The dance is rather playful since it came from the dance to celebrate the victory in war. The last performance is Kemanai Jongara Odori(Dance). Since the Meiji period, the youth who enrolled as troops in the Imperial Japanese Army at Hiroski brought this dance.

How to get there

毛马内的盆舞

这是在送盆时期举办的，通过大太鼓与笛子囃子跳的大之坂舞，以及没有加入囃子，只有歌唱搭配舞蹈的甚句舞等两个表演项目。大之坂舞是取自京都念佛舞的流派，甚句舞是犒赏在南部领的约450年前战后归来的将士而跳的舞才开始的。现在这个舞还加入毛马内JYONKARA舞，形成了盆舞。这是以两种舞为基础围绕着篝火跳的轮舞，舞者总是朝向内部，以缓慢的步调跳舞。
