Shishi mai – 獅子舞
The town where i live has a festival that features a lion dance (quite different style to the Chinese one). The festival is said to be the oldest one in the Kanto (Tokyo) area. It starts around 8am and has 10 different dances that tell a story.
There is 3 lions in total, 2 male and 1 female, some of the stories involve the 2 males fighting over the female.
This dance is where they find a god in the mountain, this one is the female, with no horns.
The last dance is where 3 samurai think the lions are evil and try to trick them and kill them, later they realise they are not evil and let them go
