First of all have a look at this picture:
This pictue was taken in Tokushima.
It is the picture of Awaodori which is traditional dance in Tokushima. We have the festivals in August every summer. It is the biggest festival in Tokushima. Many people from other prefectures visit Tokushima to see it. It is more than one million people. When the festival season comes, Tokushima is filled with excitement. I can't help but see it. You can see the pictures of Awaodori here.
Awaodori has two kinds of dance style and it is separated into man and woman. In man's style, they wear Tabi and Happi and use Tenugui. While woman put Kasa and wear Yukata and Geta. As for dance, men keep low waist. On the other hand, women keep their hands up. It has a music and it is called "Ohayashi". It consists of six instruments. Once you hear the music, it reminds in your heart.
There are a lot of dance groups. We call the unit "Ren". Each group has unique dance. The costumes are different from each group and many kinds of colors are used so they are attractive.
The movie,Bizan,whose material is Awaodori has begun to show recently. It picks up Awaodori widely. The movie was taken in real festival of Awaodori. We can feel excitement and special attraction through it. So, if you see the movie, you can't help seeing real Awaodori and dancing Awaodori. You should wacth it.
More and more people visit Tokushima to see it. Many people are looking forward Awaodori this year,too. I expect that a lot of people come to Tokushima because of Bizan. I hope they will enjoy Awaodori.
