Uga Shrine (Ikeda Town)
The shrine where the Dengaku Noh Dance is performed annually on February 15th
Uga Shrine, where the Dengaku Noh Dance of Mizumi is dedicated. Its history is ancient, said to have been founded in 463 AD.
Since ancient times, the Dengaku dance, born in this land, took root as a ritual offering.
Later, due to exchanges with places like Nogo in Gifu Prefecture, it is thought that Noh dance, part of the Hakusan faith cultural sphere, was introduced. These traditions have been preserved by the villagers to this day. As the "Mizumi Dengaku Noh Dance" (a nationally designated Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property), the Dengaku Four and Noh Five are dedicated annually on February 15th.
