Unpin Jishi |
雲浜獅子 |
Oshiro Matsuri (Unpin Jishi)
A splendid traditional dance and love story carried from Kawagoe, the home of Musashi
The origins of Unpin Jishi:
This lion dance was brought to the region when Takadatsu Sakai, the feudal lord of old Wakasa-Obama transferred from his fief in Kawagoe, Musashi to Obama in Kan'ei Year 11 (1634). Performers brought to Obama were called the "Kanto-gumi", given honorary samurai status, and were only permitted to dance for celebrations within the castle.
They also made offerings to Hiromine Jinja at the time of the Gion Festival.
Unpin Jishi was interrupted for some time following the abolition of the han (feudal) system, but was later revived. In Meiji Year 8 (1875), Obama Jinja was built in honor of the ancestral lord Takadatsu, and it is now performed at one of the largest festivals "Oshiro Matsuri", currently carried on by the residents of Ichibancho.
This is an annual festival of Obama Shrine. Traditional performing arts such as Unpin Lion and big drums are dedicated to the shrine.
Unpin Lion has been conveying the story of fighting of two lions over one female lion with a gallant lion dance and beautiful melody.
