Shiki No. 3 of Uruido

The “Urudo no Shikisanban” dance, performed annually at Atago Shrine (Urudo) during its autumn festival on the second Saturday of October, features three performers—Chitose, Okina, and Sanbaso—dancing in succession to give thanks for the bountiful harvest and pray for a prosperous one in the coming year. This valuable traditional performing art preserves an ancient form of Kabuki and is designated as a National Selected Folk Cultural Property. While traditional performing arts might seem intimidating, that's not the case here. The “Uruido Shikisanban” is a traditional art form supported by local residents so that everyone, from adults to children, can enjoy it. Please come and experience this valuable culture as a family, making this seemingly formal traditional art feel accessible and enjoyable.
