During the Edo period, samurai residences were formed at the foot of mountain castles in the Satsuma domain, and many samurai lived as half-farmers. The Japan heritage "Fumoto-Defense Network of Satsuma Samurai Districts in the Edo Period " is composed of 12 Fumoto (foothills samurai residences) out of the 100 or more Fumoto.
Iriki Fumoto, located in Satsumasendai City, is an area that has produced many biwa makers who make famous instruments.

FOLK PERFORMANCE

  • 入来神舞

Irikikanme

Since the Kamakura period, Irikikanme has been the Shinto ritual dedicated to Omiya Shrine as headquarters on November 23 and New Year's Eve. It is presumed that the modern theatrical Irikikanme came into the world by mixing ancient Hayato Kagura, Gagaku, and Izumo Kagura. Juninintsurugimai dance has the lyrics of the national anthem "Kimigayo" and is said to have become the basis of the national anthem. Although it had temporarily come to an end, it was revived in 1955. In April 2020, Irikikanme was designated as an intangible folklore cultural asset designated by Kagoshima Prefecture.
