Hachinohe Enburi Festival
Enburi dance is a folk art representative of the Hachinohe area. It is designated as an important national intangible folk cultural property. The dance, offered to deities as a prayer for a rich harvest, is believed to boast an 800-year history. Dancers called “tayu” dance by swinging gorgeous “eboshi” hats in the shape of horse heads. Over 30 Enburi dancing teams perform traditional dances around Hachinohe City for four days from February 17 through 20 every year. Between the dances by “tayu”, children perform celebratory dances such as “enko-enko” and “ebisu-mai”.
