What is Binzasara Mai?
It is a dengaku dance dedicated to the Sanjamatsuri. It is registered as an intangible cultural property designated by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the national government.
"Binzasara" is a musical instrument made of about 100 pieces of wood bundled together with string, and the board and the board touch each other to produce sound.
The performers are dressed in flashy costumes, rubbing bottles, making various sounds while beating drums, and changing their formations to pray for good old age and the dispelment of evil spirits.
