祭概要

はりか山をあげ、路上の舞台で舞う！全国でも類を見ない移動式野外劇
Hand-painted pictures of mountains are raised and dances are performed on a street stage!
The only mobile outdoor theater performance of its kind in all of Japan


国指定重要無形民俗文化財「烏山の山あげ行事」と、八雲神社の神輿などで構成される那須烏山市最大の祭りです。高さ約10mもの舞台背景「山（はりか山）」を人力であげ、何もない路上に素早く舞台装置を設置。常磐津の三味線・唄に乗せて地元の踊り子が絢爛豪華な歌舞伎舞踊を披露する、全国でも珍しい移動式野外劇です。瞬時に背景を変える「山の切り替えし」も見もの。夜の公演では、ライトアップされた山やガマが妖艶さを醸し出します。

28日に八雲神社の鳥居前で行われる「ブンヌキ」。各町の屋台が集まり囃子のリズム・音量・持続力を競う様は迫力満点。

The largest festival in Nasukarasuyama City composed of the Karasuyama Yamaage Festival, which is a Nationally Designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Asset, and the portable shrines of Yakumo Shrine. Background hand-painted pictures of mountains about 10 meters-tall are lifted onto a stage as settings are quickly prepared on empty streets. It is a rare form of outdoor theater where local dancers perform spectacular Kabuki dances to the sound of Tokiwazu Shamisens and singing. The instantaneous change of backgrounds is also a sight to see. The mountains and cattails that are lit up during the night performance create a fascinating atmosphere.
The Bunnuki drumming competition held in front of the gate at Yakumo Shrine on the 28th. See the exciting battle of the rhythm, volume, and sustainability of the music by the floats gathered from various towns.
