祭概要

伝説の舞台が多く残る「神々の郷」で、神話の名場面を演じる神楽を堪能！

日本最古の歴史書「古事記」において、須佐之男命が大蛇を退治したとされる斐伊川流域。他にも、天が淵・八本杉・日本初之宮須我神社など、島根県雲南市内には神話の舞台が数多く残っています。こうした神々の郷・出雲地方に伝わる、神話や伝説を題材とした伝統芸能「出雲神楽」を、市内16の神楽社中が古代鉄歌謡館で毎月上演。金襴錦の衣装をまとった荘厳な姿、古雅で荘重な奏楽に乗って舞われる入神の妙技は、観覧者を惹きつけて放しません。

大蛇を退治して稲田姫を救った須佐之男命の活躍を演じる「簸之川大蛇退治」など、1公演につき2演目が上演されます。

Enjoy Kagura performances depicting famous scenes from myths at the home of the gods, where many legendary occurrences are remembered! The Hii River Basin is where Susanoo-no-Mikoto was said to have defeated a dragon in the Kojiki, which is Japan’s oldest book of historic accounts. Other locations in Unnan City, Shimane Prefecture, where many mythical events took place such as Amagafuchi, Happonsugi, and Nihon Hatsunomiya (Suga Shrine), can still be found today. The traditional performing art “Izumo Kagura”, based on myths and legends of the Izumo region - the home of the gods, can be seen every month at the Kodaitetsu Kayoukan, and is performed by 16 Kagura groups in the city. The magnificent semblance of the performers in gold brocades and their impressive skills as they dance to the quaint and majestic music captivate the audience. There are two acts in each performance, including the “Slaying of the Dragon at Hi River”, which depicts Susanoo-no-Mikoto defeating the dragon and saving Princess Inada.
