Owara-Kazenobon is a dance which the basis also got used from the time when local people are small, and has been been familiar and cherished. It is an event which passes a town and it keeps on dancing while it is not dancing harder to a tourist to essentially see, of course and its feeling has gone. It is said that it is supposed that history was started in Genroku 5 (1702) in which the Edo period and the Tokugawa fifth generation general Tsunayoshi were. Saying says the dance which has 300 years or more of history till the present. If it is called the Genroku Era of those days, it may be having also on rural areas having also overlapped with the time when the culture of the Bon festival dance began, and influence in the time Genroku culture which is the culture centering on upper townspeople is flowers at their best. It is said that the Kazenobon itself is the Bon festival dance currently performed at the time of the Bon Festival in August instead of September from the first before. Since there is the origin that beginning made the song joy while people of Etchuu-Yatsuo are living, and danced, it being inherited and being influenced by the culture of the time age, a form is changed gradually and it is refined. It is said that the name of the wind of Kazenobon is a meaning called a windy place. It is said that this Etchuu-Yatsuo was a 1 large producing district of raw silk (silk thread) from the second half of the Edo period to the early stages of Meiji Era. The place which a strong wind blows being suitable for raw silk production, and such nature of the locality became the origin of the name. The town must have got wet with raw silk production and the sericultural industry considerably. Didn't the tray of the wind which is a dance expressing joy spread further then again? Moreover, although the signs of the town in Etchuu-Yatsuo of those days that the opinion of coming from great laughter also has the origin of Owara and that it profited unexpectedly and laughter did not stop after that was right will be imagined, how is it? if it enters at Taisho Era, a straw preservation meeting will be launched still more in opposite Taisho 8, and it can also be said to be the prototype of the present dance -- it dances and the tone of - samisen, a drum, and Kokyu etc. appears. And probably, the aggregate of the dance of history, the culture and art for 300 years or more, and the public is present Owara-Kazenobon.
