この間の上山田神楽保存会の新年会の写真です。最後のお締めで北信流が行われました。私は何度も見たし、参加したこともあるので、歴史的な行事です。
「北信流」とは、この動画で見れます。
上山田お神楽の皆様、今年も頑張りましょう！
At the Kamiyamada Kagura Preservation Group's New Year Party the other day, we finished off with a 'Hokushin-ryu' ceremony. I've seen and taken part in many of these proceedings, and they never fail to impress me with their formal pagentry and deep sense of history. It's said to have originated from here, northern Nagano.

Here's wishing Kamiyamada Okagura a great 2011!
