About a festival dance

Beautifulness, beautifulness, beautifulness.
A sound to beat the priest's staff with a tone of the festival music is heard. It is the appearance of the festival dance (a lever is wound up).
The woman before geisha people and the wedding ceremony served in old days, but children of the elementary school work these days.

A flower shade is attached to the back in Ise hakama, a tabi and sandals to a kimono. A festival car and a stand are led while sounding a priest's staff held in a hand.
The clothes of the festival dance stop by like a festival short coat and a folding fan of youths in each town, and a color and a design vary.
What is compared is interesting.

The line of the festival dance to add bloom to the powerful festival car, guidance of the stand, the figure of lovely children please our eyes.
