Kagura - Japanese traditional performing arts Hiroshima "Takiyasha Princess" 2023

The “Takiyasha-hime" (Takiyasha Princess) digest version of the “Autumn Festival Dedication Kagura” performance by the Miyanosho Kagura Troupe will be held at the Shinjyo Elementary School in Kitahiroshima-cho, Yamagata-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture, in September 2023. “Takiyasha-hime" (Takiyasha Princess) The self-proclaimed New Emperor of the Eastern Provinces, Taira-no-Masakado, is defeated in the Battle of Tengyō by the imperial warriors Fujiwara-no-Hidesato and Taira-no-Sadamori. Masakado's only remaining daughter, Satsuki-hime, goes to pray at the Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, asking the gods to imbue her with powerful magic so that she may avenge the death of her father. Hearing her pleas and taking sympathy, the gods grant her wish and turn her into a fearsome demon sorceress. Satsuki-hime takes the name Takiyasha-hime and returns to her father's hometown of Souma to rally supporters still loyal to her father to take on the imperial army that murdered him. When news of Takiyasha’s plans reach the capital, the imperial court orders Mitsukuni, a powerful sorcerer in his own right, to eliminate her. Mitsukuni meets Takiyasha on the field of battle where she is defeated, leaving her quest to seek vengeance unfinished. ■Miyanosho Kagura Troupe Facebook https://www.facebook.com/share/1Aya52gSP2/... ■Miyanosho Kagura Troupe Instagram https://www.instagram.com/miyanosho_kagura/ ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー ■Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kagura.jp.s/ ■The Kagura Japan「神楽」Site https://the-kagura.com/ This site was created with the idea of giving people from overseas a first look at the traditional Japanese performing art of kagura.
