A day at the Yosakoi Soran Festival
Location: Odori Park, Susukino, Sapporo, Hokkaido
Date: 9th June to 12th June (Thursday to Sunday)
About: Yosakoi is a unique dance form originated in Japan. One of the defining aspects of Yosakoi dance is the use of naruko: small wooden clappers that are held in the hands of each dancer. Naruko were originally used in Kōchi Prefecture to scare birds away from rice fields. [source: Wikipedia] It is highly energetic and beautiful with colorful costumes and amazing traditional and fusion japanese music. The Yosakoi Soran Festival also has a competitive side where professionals and non-professional teams compete with each other. The winners get a featured performance which is highly anticipated each year.
