Held at the foot of Mt. Ibuki in Maibara, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. Long ago, villagers in Ueno prayed for rain by doing the thunder dance by beating drums and bells, lighting torches, etc. Then after the rainfall and a good harvest in autumn, they danced in appreciation. This thanksgiving dance is now performed only once every five years as a local festival at a small shrine in Ueno. This video was taken on Oct. 3, 2010. My first YouTube that is 15 min. long.

  • It's so wonderful of this kind person to have taken the time to post this for so many people to see. Furthermore, no one usually takes the time to add "footnotes" of explanations periodically, which is great to understand and appreciate what's going on. This is really the next best thing to actually being there! A big THANKS to photojpn. I've noticed that you've posted many other wonderful things on the Internet about places in Japan-all beautiful work. Kudos and many thanks to you! KP
