城山虎舞

平成8年（1996）、町内の若者達が釜石市尾崎町虎舞（おさきちょうとらまい）の指導を受け活動を始めました。平成14年（2002）より町内の栄町、須賀町（すかちょう）地域を拠点に活動していましたが東日本大震災の大津波により被災しました。 大槌町の虎舞のほとんどが津波の被害を受け、活動の拠点も失いましたが、2011年4月には残された道具類を共有しながら「大槌虎舞」として被災者を励まし続けました。 一方、大きな支援を受けてきたお礼に全国各地や海外に出向いて演じ、 感謝と復興への誓いを訴えてきました。

Shiroyama Toramai (Otsuchi Town)
In 1996, a group of young people from the town began performing under the guidance of the Osaki Town Toramai of Kamaishi City. Since 2002, the group has been based in the prosperous Sukacho area, but was damaged by the tsunami that followed the Great East Japan Earthquake. Most of the toramai groups in Otsuchi were damaged by the tsunami and lost their bases of activity, but by April 2011, they began to share their remaining equipment to perform for the victims of the tsunami as a collective “Otsuchi Toramai” group.  At the same time, they went to various parts of Japan and overseas to perform in appreciation of the great support they had received, expressing our gratitude and pledges for recovery.
