菅生田植踊り

今から約200年前、大船渡村下船渡の某が胆沢郡に赴いて踊りを習い、当時「下船渡田植踊り」として近辺に広められ、これを立根村菅生と下欠地域の若い衆が習い覚え定着したものと伝えられる。一時廃れるが、昭和10年に菅生・下欠の有志の団体であった国旗会（代表　故金野雄三郎氏）が復活・伝承に取り組み、菅生新太翁（当時70歳）を師匠に練習に励み、昭和11年2月1日（旧正月）に「菅生下欠経済更生記念田植踊」と墨痕鮮やかに大書した幟を立てて村内を踊り歩いたのが復活の第一歩であり、 現在は菅生田植踊保存会により保存継承。

About 200 years ago, a person from Shimofunato community, Ofunato village visited Tanzawa district and learned a dance to bring back home, which was eventually spread as the Shimofunato Taueodori. The youngsters in Sugo and Shitakake communities, both Tatsune village, learned it and set the foundation of the Sugo Taueodori. After a period of decline, a volunteer group Kokkikai, headed by the late Mr. Yuzaburo Kin’no, made an effort to preserve. They trained hard with Shinta Sugo, 70 years old at that time, as their teacher and finally performed on streets in the village with a grand flag telling “The Taueodori Commemorating the Economic Rehabilitation of Sugo and Shitakake” on February 1, 1936. Since this first step of revival, it has been preserved until today. Now it is managed by the Sugo Taueodori Preservation Society.
