Ikuta Shrine - Kagura "Ikuamai"
(Speaker:Yasuhiro Sakai, Dancer: Sakura Miyazaki / Yuki Nakata / Kurumi Iwasaki / Rieko Sawada )

Ikuta Shrine is the most famous Shinto shrine in Kobe.
" Ikutamai " is kagura ( ' kagura ' is sacred music and dancing performed at a shrine).

Two men of the Takarazuka Music School created music and dance moves to Japanese poems made by Gotoba-in and Juntoku-in.
The dancers are women, but they dance in men's clothes such as long black lacquered hats (= ' Eboshi ' ) and green noshi ( 'noshi' is everyday clothes for nobles).

[FYI]

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
