Founded in the Heian period, with the existing main hall constructed in 1541, Takasu Shrine is one of the few medieval wooden structures in Japan, holding significant historical value. In 2023, it was designated as a national Important Cultural Property. The shrine hosts a spring prayer festival every April and a night Kagura (sacred music and dancing) in October within its precincts. The ability Kagura, passed down for about 550 years, was performed by the priests of the former Ito County until the Edo period but has been inherited by the parishioners of Takasu Shrine since the Meiji era. Two types of Kagura are dedicated: the “Mai Kagura,” a serene dance performed without masks to the offering of items and chanting of Kagura songs in harmony with the music, and the “Men Kagura,” where several masked Kagura performers enact mythological stories. Twelve pieces of these performances are offered.<\/p>\n
