Yagura
˜E
Yagura is a temporary scaffold setting up in the center where the Bon-odori
(Bon-Dance) is being danced.
It is covered with red-and-white-striped curtains and cloth, and decorated
with lots of lanterns.
(In Japan, the red-and white color conbination used in auspicious occasion.)
Japanese traditional folk songs are played by Hayashikata (band members/drums,
shamisen, etc.)
and sung by Ondotori (a folk singer), and leading dancers dance on a yagura
stage.
Recentry, it's sometimes difficult to find a band, however drums are at
least played as live performance.
