日本で最も多彩な民俗芸能の１つとされる #獅子舞。
その多彩な魅力を紹介する『獅子舞 – ふるさとの守り神 – 』がSTAGE BEYOND BORDERSにて配信開始🦁
７世紀にその原型が日本に伝わって以来、悪霊を払う芸能として定着し、疫病退散や五穀豊穣など人々の安寧を願ってきました👺🌾
日本各地で独自の発展を遂げ、見る人を魅了してやまない様々な獅子舞の魅力をお伝えします👀✨One of Japan’s most vibrant and diverse folk dancing traditions, “Shishimai: Guardians of the Community”, is now available on STAGE BEYOND BORDERS🦁
“Shishi” are the mythical lion-like creatures common in Asian folklore, and “mai” means dance. 
These lion dances first came to Japan in the 7th century, as ritual performances to exorcise evil, and developed into prayers for good health or rich harvests. 👺🌾 
Different versions evolved in different regions, and today there are thousands of organizations dedicated to preserving local #shishimai dances. 
We travel the country to showcase the vast range of shishimai traditions👀✨#民俗芸能　#郷土芸能
