Urayasu no mai - Dance of Shrine Maidens Miko, Minami Town, Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku

Last year at the Matsuri Convention in Minami Town, we had the incredible opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich traditions of Southern Tokushima.

One of the standout moments was witnessing the stunning Urayasu no Mai, performed by the skilled Miko (shrine maidens) from Anan’s Haura Shrine. This traditional dance, whose name translates to "peace of mind," is more than just a performance - it’s a heartfelt prayer for peace and harmony.

The Urayasu no Mai, with its graceful movements and serene elegance, is a beautiful expression of devotion and peace. It continues to be a cherished part of the shrine’s annual festivals, bringing its calming presence to the community throughout the year.

Take Akari Bamboo Lantern Making Workshop, Kaiyo Town, Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku

Discover the magic of Take Akari - beautiful bamboo lanterns crafted with traditional artistry!
Recently, we had the incredible opportunity to create our own Take Akari lanterns. Choosing our designs and drilling patterns, we dove into a hands-on workshop that made two hours fly by! And the lanterns that we made bring us joy every time we look at it, and I’m already dreaming of making a few more for my home! ^^

But more about the materials:
Bamboo, once a vital part of daily life, has become an environmental challenge as it can grow invasively, causing damage and increasing the risk of landslides. one of the solutions of that problem would be to utilize the plants as valuable natural resources.

Take no hana is leading the way by turning abandoned bamboo into beautiful, eco-friendly lanterns and installations. Their work not only addresses the bamboo problem but also infuses our spaces with traditional charm and sustainable beauty. たけの花

Goryobashi Chopsticks Making Hands-On, Kito, Naka Town, Tokushima Prefecture, Shikoku

Deep in the mountains of Naka Town, we crafted our very own pair of chopsticks – and they’re anything but ordinary! Introducing Goryobashi 五稜箸, or "Five-Ridges Chopsticks," designed to be extremely light and incredibly easy to hold.

Their unique pentagon shape represents the five mountains of the five villages that came together to form Naka Town. Each corner symbolizes a piece of this beautiful landscape.

Made from Kito cedar wood, these chopsticks are not just a culinary tool but a symbol of sustainable forestry practices. Properly felling these trees helps keep the mountains healthy, reduces the risk of natural disasters, and ensures that no wood goes to waste.

Shishikui Beach, Kaiyo Town, Tokushima Prefecture, Japan

Kaiyo Town is the perfect summer getaway, with its cool ocean breeze offering a refreshing break from the heat. It also brings back fond memories of a summer event from a few years ago - filled with laughter and juicy watermelons.

A summer cultural exchange event brought together kids from a local school and a group of amazing Assistant Language Teachers (ALTs) for a fun-filled game of Suikawari!
Suikawari, or “watermelon splitting,” is a beloved Japanese summer tradition. It’s all about teamwork, laughter, and, of course, enjoying a delicious watermelon.

Here’s how it works:
Participants are blindfolded, spun around using the stick as a pivot, and then guided by their teammates to take a swing at the watermelon with a wooden stick. The excitement of wandering, the calls in English to help them find their way, and the final swing make for a hilarious and memorable experience.

It starts with a procession from Hachiman Shrine through the town to the harbor, where the symbolic mikoshi sets sail for Mugi Oshima for the Shinto ceremony. Experience the spectacle as decorated boats accompany this sacred journey, reflecting enduring ties to maritime safety.

But the festivities don't end there! Join in the spirited celebration featuring Awa Odori dance and music performances, and don’t miss spectacular fireworks display against the night sky. It's a chance to immerse yourself in local traditions and feel the pulse of community spirit.

Come along and witness firsthand how this festival, born from sorrow, now brings joy and unity to all who participate. Let's celebrate together!
