- Story of Sumiyoshi Shachu Troupe
In the old days in Kagoshima, women in every household would master elements of etiquette through practicing tea, shamisen (three-stringed instrument),
- and dancing as part of their education before marriage.
Throughout the prefecture, each region had its own gathering troupe called ‘Shachu’ who performed songs, dances, and shamisen music at festivals and other events.
The Sumiyoshi Shachu Troupe, based in Ichiki-Kushikino City, is the only entity in Kagoshima Prefecture that has continued these traditional performing arts,
- which were begun in the Meiji era (around 1870).
