Tomioku Jonkara

The lyrics of the Tomioku jonkara dance have not changed, but the current dance is an integration of the Awada and Kambayashi styles from around 1935. It expresses the movements of weeding and harvesting rice.
In the Jonkara dance performed in Kambayashi until the early 20th century, men wore masks and performed funny movements, and women did up their hair and danced in full dress.
