The elegant White Heron Dance is performed a few times a year in Asakusa, Tokyo. The entire dance is shown in this video shot on April 11, 2010. The dance is based on Yasaka Shrine's Gion Matsuri in Kyoto where it was originally performed over a thousand years ago. A depiction of it was found in a picture scroll showing a Sensoji temple festival in 1652. In 1968, the local Asakusa tourist association resurrected the dance.
