“Taasobi” in Itabashi City
In the past, there were many paddy fields in Itabashi City, where people cultivate grains such as rice and wheat.
“Taasobi” is a traditional art to pray for abundant grains and the prosperity of descendants.
Mainly three performers consist of “Oinamoto” as a leader, “Koinamoto” and “Kuwadori” as assistants. The performers play out the situation of rice farming for a year by singing and acting for approximately two hours.
Imagine the situation of performance of rice farming though watching the performances’ action.
