Current Bizarre Mai

On the first day of Sanjamatsuri, a large matrix to be held on Friday, I will walk through the streets of Asakusa. After arriving at Asakusa Shrine, we pray for five grain rich food, prosperous business, prosperity of descendants etc, and "Shinto Binzasa Mai" will be dedicated to the worshipers from the people of Mrs. After that, I will also dance the dance at Kagura Den.

What is a bottle saw?
 "Binzasara" is written as "knitting tree" "pulsating plate" etc. It is a musical instrument which bundles bamboo, or even a few thin pieces of wood with the string around the hundreds of strings, and it is used for the dance of the Dagura system even among folk performing arts.
 The shrine used in Shinto Binza sa dance is a wooden product made of hundred eighty sheets of cypress with a length of approximately 15 cm and a thickness of 0.6 cm, holding both left and right ends with both hands, opening and closing like an accordion Then, the board and the board intertwine to produce a sound.
