Notes : A kagura mask representing an unidentified local demon. Kagura (literally, "Divine Entertainment") refers to a specific type of Shinto theatrical dance whose roots predate those of nō theater.
Originally a strictly ceremonial art, derived from kami'gakari (literally, "oracular divination"), kagura has evolved in many directions over more than a millennium.
Today, it's a very much alive tradition, whose rituals are linked to the rhythms of the agricultural calendar.
