Zenbe Myorenji Song title preservation society
Last Updated March 4, 2019
1.Group introduction
It is said that the title of the song was handed down by a person named Denbei of Katase Fujisawa in the late Edo period. The title of this song
The title of the song is the title of the Nan Mumyoho Lotus Lotus Sutra with 12 different verses in each of the seven characters.
That's why I sing while playing a fan drum. Before and after the war, activities were temporarily suspended, but young people at that time.
The association worked to preserve it, and in 1950, the Zenbe Myorenji Song Title Preservation Society was formed.
Practice is divided into spring and autumn, and is practiced with children. Children are from 4 years old to junior high school students.
The children had a lacquered Tsuzumi drum on their left hand and a bee with a bright red bunch on both ends on their right hand.
Show off a gorgeous bee judge while sitting.
In 1991, it was recognized for its many years of achievements and was registered as a designated intangible folk cultural property of Kanagawa Prefecture.
2.Through activities-a word from members-
◆The charm of the song title
The theme of the song, in which adults sing and children perform bee judgment, is a rare kindergarten performing arts nationwide.
Adults are called "land-take" and play the role of elders singing the title song. The children have a red bunch.
The bee is called "Ayatori art" because of the appearance of the hand handling, and it is very vivid. Continue the practice

◆How I started and why I continued
Grow up in the community, participate in activities with the desire to leave songs that you know since childhood, and continue.
That's right. Some of them joined as a child as a child, and returned to work as an adult after retiring.
There's also one.
◆To foster successors
We are recruiting from 4 and 5-year-old children who are responsible for twilling arts to adults singing. To a festival of performing arts
I'm sometimes invited to show the title of the song, so I think it's a good experience to be able to express it on a big stage.
