After the performance, they politely posed for pictures.
Calligraphy is important for formal announcements. Tsukushi Mai dances, at one time numbered over two hundred; four remain. The historical record records the existence of the art form in 731 in northern Kyushu.
A cameraman for NHK, Japanese public television, was filming at Cleveland Art Museum. A Shinto art exhibition opened to-day.
These dances are done for the kami at the Miyajidake Jinja shrine. The dances are very slow, like moving poses. They are often kneeling, the dances are prayer.
