Matsumae Kagura
(Shinto Music & Dance) were dedicated to Kami in closing of the festival. Sakaki Mai is the first of many dances of the Matsumae Kagura performed by the chief priest of the shrine. Holding a Gohei (sacred wand used to expel impurities and sin) in his left hand and a bell in his right hand, the priest steps forward and back, right and left in quiet steps. This dance is highly regarded for its elegance. The dance symbolized the daily ritual performed by the priest inside the Tamagaki (sacred fence enclosing the oratory and the main hall of a shinto shrine) each morning and evening to cleanse impurities and sin. Gohei are offered at the divine altar.

Normally,
Young girls under 10 years of age perform this dance with bells and fans in their hands. The dance received its name because of their frequent hand raising actions and represents the Divine Maiden coming to earth from the heavens. Renowned as the most elegant dance of the Shinto
Kagura.

Paper ribbons are hung from cords which are connected to the ceiling at the point of crossing. With a white folding fan, the priest purifies the area by waving the fan in each direction and lastly to the center. The priest then cuts the paper ribbons with a sword to expel evil spirits and celebrate the tranquil land and the four seasons. The cut paper ribbons are considered to be virtuous for bearing healthy children and they can be used as a means of safety from fires.

おわりに Afterword |
●
去年、寒中みそぎ祭りを取材できなかったので、今年は、三日間、楽しみながら撮影させていただいた。
高橋さんは、四年目を迎え、今年は別当を務めた。二年ぶりにお会いして、行修者としての自信と風格を備えて、最終年の強さが感じられた。
彼らは、みそぎ祭りの苦行を通じて人間として立派に成長している。寒中みそぎは本当に寒くて辛いことだが、彼らが平然と行っている姿を見て感動するのは、私だけではないだろう。この伝統の祭りがこれからもずっと続けられることを願っている。 |
I couldn’t take photos of
Kanchu Misogi Matsuri the Midwinter Ablution Festival last year. This year I was able to enjoy the
Festival for three days.
Mr.Takahashi played the role of Betto this year because he has served as
Ascetic for four years. I saw him for the first time in two years and he appeared to be confident and full of dignity as
Ascetic. It takes four years to become strong enough to play the role of
Ascetic.
They can also grow splendidly as a human being through this
difficult practices. Just by looking at the purification in the depth of the winter makes us feel the cold even more. Many visitors including me were impressed with the figure of the youth who had performed it in a nonchalant attitude. I really hope that
this traditional
Festival will be continued in the future. |

The Hokkaido Shinkansen Line is going to start business on March 26, 2016. Kikonai is the first stop in Hokkaido after going through the Seikan Tunnel (undersea
tunnel) so that I hope a lot of visitors from Honshu direction come to see
Kanchu Misogi Matsuri.
Many foreigners including passengers on cruise ships come to Hakodate as tourists every year. Just for the record, the number of the cruise ships scheduled to arrive at the port of Hakkodate is about 30 in 2016.
Members of Hakodate Goodwill Guide Association
(HGGA) travel as volunteer workers together with foreign tourists who need the assistance to visit the Southern Hokkaido. I
know that many foreigners have an interest in traditional Japanese culture since I have
been working as a member of HGGA. Therefore I want to introduce
Kanchu Misogi Matsuri to foreigners so that I made Japanese English bilingual version of this
naked festival on this website.

I hope this work would be useful for foreigners to understand traditional Japanese culture. Also I greatly hope many foreigners
visit Kikonai town to see Kanchu Misogi
Matsuri. |
