Seiyu musical accompaniment
It was formed in 1972 by 5 people who wanted to make the festival of Inagi lively, and currently 45 people belong to it. From experienced to beginner, we practice in a family-like atmosphere. At the beginning of the year, we visit each household in the Higashi Naganuma area.
There are many activities outside the city, and we participate in festivals such as Fuchu City, Kokubunji City, and Koganei City.
What kind of activities would you like to do in 2017?
Last year, we changed the wheels of the dashi float, so this year we want to get new ones. It's also a place for children to present their work, so I'd like to let them perform on a new stage.

Inagi Music
It is the oldest in the city and has been active since the Meiji era. There were times when it was suspended during and after the war, but now people of all ages from 4 to 71 belong to the joint Yanoguchi and Sakahama districts. It is the only group in the city that is registered with the Tokyo Metropolitan Folk Performing Arts Association, and about 20 people practice every day.
In order for everyone to enjoy the festival, we value the rhythm that is essential to the festival and hand it down to the younger generation.

I will do my best to get the audience to get into the rhythm, shake their heads, and clap their hands.

Speaking of Daimarubayashi's uniqueness, it is the deep connection with the local community. When the floats are pulled at the autumn festival, more and more children jump in to participate. I try to play to make everyone smile.

Many women play an active role in Oshidate-bayashi, and currently all the musical instruments are performed by women.
We try to change the program according to the audience so that they can become familiar with the music and enjoy it. In addition, while inheriting the tradition, we actively incorporate new things.

Traditional performing arts rooted in Inagi
In the city, 10 groups have gathered to carry on traditional local performing arts, including music, and have organized the "Inagi City Folk Performing Arts Preservation Society."
The traditional performing arts of Inagi City are said to have originated in the 6th year of Oan (Muromachi period) when Gonritsushi Yamamoto Hironobu founded Daidai Kagura. After that, there is a record that the lion dance of Seiyu Shrine and the lion dance of Anazawa Tenjin Shrine were performed in the Edo period. There was a time when it was temporarily discontinued, but it has been revived and new initiatives have begun, and it has reached the present.
In March 2016, the 10th “Inagi City Furusato Folk Performing Arts Festival” was held, and valuable local performing arts in the city were presented to everyone. The next event is scheduled for 2018, so please look forward to it.
The video of the 10th Inagi City Furusato Folk Performing Arts Festival is available on the "Inagi City Video Channel". Please see from city homepage or YouTube.
