Eizo Minzokugaku Series Nihon no Sugata Dai 7 Ki Hichishima Shogatsu to Hichige

[Machine Translation] The first release in the "Visual Folklore Series: Japan's Seventh Season" series introducing traditional festivals handed down from generation to generation in various regions of Japan! This film features the "Shichishima New Year" and "Hichigae" festivals held a month early in Kagoshima Prefecture's Tukahama Archipelago. The sight of the people praying and dancing as one, welcoming the gods to their village over a period of about two months is breathtaking.
