In the past, in Kagoshima, it was customary for women in every household to acquire etiquette through pursuits such as tea ceremonies, shamisen playing, and dance before marriage. Throughout the prefecture, there were local gatherings called "shachu" with practice venues where residents showcased singing, dancing, and shamisen performances during celebrations and events like flower viewing or house-raising ceremonies. "Sumiyoshi Shachu" based in Ichiki-Kushikino City, Kagoshima, continues to be the sole entity preserving this traditional performing art, dating back to the Meiji era (around 1870)
