Outline
Dedicated to the festival of the Iron Shrine on the first Sunday of October. Around Keicho (1596-1615), it is said to have been reported from the current Tokyo Chofu area. There are three lion heads, two male lions with a sword angle and a winding corner and one female lion with a jewel. Both are painted black and feathers and drums are attached to the chest. In addition, there are more than 20 members, one person each for exposing and flies, two flower baskets, gold sticks, and conch shells, sasara pulling, and singers. The dance is not as powerful as the lion dance of the adjacent Ushigome lion dance, but it is characterized by a variety of variations that can be played with tools such as flowers and bows.
