左比代虎舞

八戸市小中野地区に伝わる虎舞。昭和60年発足。それまで山車を作って八戸港まつりに参加していたが、引子の減少や山車小屋の確保などの問題があり、町内会の青年部、婦人部が主体となって虎舞に転換。八戸三社大祭では、法霊山おがみ神社の虎舞として行列に参加するほか、市内外の芸能祭やイベントに出演するなど、八戸市を代表する虎舞として多くの人に親しまれている。

The toramai is inherited in Konakano community in Hachinohe city. The preservation society was founded in 1985. Although they had been used to parade floats at the Hachinohe port festival, the youth and women sections of the town council suggested to alter their activity into toramai considering the shortage of float drawers and garages. They take part in the procession as the dance attached to the Ogami Shrine on the Mt. Horyo at the grand festival of three shrines in Hachinohe, and perform at the performing arts festivals and other events in Hachinohe and other cities. The Sabishiro Toramai is popular among people as a representative toramai in Hachinohe.
