Dance Of The Lion
Item #791121
A Japanese exclusive now available at Century Circle Retailers. SHISHIMAI, a ritual dance with a lion's mask, is highly praised as one of the highlights of Japanese ceremonies. It has the longest history in Japanese entertainment, but the way of dancing has changed greatly as it was passed on by word of mouth. The most general form is that one dancer handles the head of the SHISHI and another plays the part of the tail. SHISHIMAI is performed in festivals as a prayer for good harvests and safety in the household - especially on the first three days of the New Year. This originated from the ancient belief that lions, the king of beasts, have a special power. The energetic manner of the SHISHIMAI dance, accompanied by flutes and drums, brings high spirits to the people.Retired October 25, 2003
