DESTINATION -
While in Kochi, the Yosakoi Festival was taking place. This is a fairly new festival, started after WWII and is a modern version of the Tokushima’s Awa Odori (which we’ll be going to in a couple of days).
About 200 teams from around Japan participate and unlike traditional Japanese festivals there are very few rules – one is that the naruko wooded clappers be used and the other that a portion of the original Yosakoi dance music be included. The lack of rules opens the door for some creative dancing and costumes ranging from traditonal, samba, rock to avant-garde. However, in many cases the results are disappointing. See all
