Akiu no Taue Odori
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Akiu no taue odori (秋保の田植踊?) is a traditional rice-planting dance in Akiu, now part of Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture, Japan. Performed since the seventeenth century, ten female dancers accompanied by two or four males enact a repertoire of six to ten dances to the sound of flute, drums and bells.[1] In 1970 measures were taken to document the dance and in 1976 it was designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property.[2][3] In 2009 Akiu no taue odori was inscribed on the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.[4]
