About This Video
There are hundreds of types of traditional dances in Japan, and Awa Odori is one of the best-known ones. Originated in Tokushima, it is now enjoyed and danced hundreds of thousands of performers across Japan.
Among those, the Awa Odori Festival in Koenji, Tokyo is the biggest with over 60 years of history. It now attracts ten thousand performers and a million people to view the festival held there on the last weekend of August every year.
“Dancing Fools” is the word to describe Awa Odori dancers, and “watching fools” is for the viewers. Being watching fools is not only fun but also gives energy to the dancers. They are an inevitable part of making up this festival, and I would like to give some basic knowledge to have these precious partners enjoy Awa Odori more, and make this summer a special one.
