  • what are the bell wands called?

  • It's called "suzu" (bells).

  • Interesting... I thought no one was allowed to witness "these" types of festivals... much less film one! Good job!

  • This was a very public festival/dance held in the open. However, there are more closed ceremonies and dances performed inside the shrine's worship hall or inner sanctum.
