Kagura, primarily in the northwestern part of Hiroshima Prefecture, has evolved into a highly entertaining performance over the years, incorporating various staging techniques while still cherishing its role as a sacred ritual. Most of the performed programs are stories familiar to Japanese people through Kagura, Noh, and Kabuki. By displaying English subtitles on stage, we believe that people from overseas can easily experience Japanese culture.
