The performance was (re)started in summer 1984 by a local youth group, based on the records in Sugae Masumi’s ‘Noki-no-Yamabuki’ (Marigold Bush Flowers on the Eaves) and the information offered by Tsuwano Town (Shimane Prefecture). It is a dance of two white herons with the elegant flapping of their winds.
