Welcome to this sight
Hello, magical world , Hello wonderful Japan

Welcome to our website.
This site is to introduce unique Japanese culture, that is to say the masked character in traditional folk performing arts (and old town, castle etc). They are sometimes in shrine festival (called Matsuri), sometimes come to people’s house as a sacred visitor, sometimes appear in annual events and “Kagura” (this is a play which Japanese give to deities).


You can find information about major festivals on any website introducing Japan. In fact, you’ll likely find more detailed information there.
However, smaller festivals and events can be quite hard to find. In fact, they probably aren’t even covered on regular websites.
Do you know how many ‘Matsuri’ there are in Japan? Some estimate there to be (One theory goes as follows) about three hundred thousands! Masked characters emerge in not all Matsuris but some of them. They express deities and demon by wearing masks. Japan has so many traditional strange masked characters.
