Furyū is a generic term to designate charming ornaments or gestures, and as a category of performance arts it means performances with curiosity, interest, and anything to surprise and entertain the spectators. It thus covers a wide range of performance arts, including Shagiri, Gannin Dance, Rice Cake-Making Dance, Ondo, Sake-Brewing Dance, and singing events. Many furyū performances have been passed down to date with shrine festivals. They tend to exaggerate the appearance or movement and become more gorgeous. Yasuji Honda classifies furyū into Neri-Furyū, Disguise-Furyū, Tsukurimono-Furyū, Plague-God-Furyū, Dengaku-Furyū, Nenbutsu-Dance, and Kouta-Dance.
