行山流高瀬鹿踊

高瀬鹿踊は住田町下有住に伝承される行山流山口派の鹿踊り。月山神社で踊るため月山鹿踊とも称される。文化7年（1810年）、下清水の忠吉が江刺市伊手へ出稼ぎした時に、伊手の地ノ神屋敷の遠藤金蔵からこの鹿踊を伝授した。文化10年（1813年）にも、若者らが高瀬に金蔵を師匠として呼び伝授を受けたという。この後中立の伝授を受けた忠吉は横田村（陸前高田市）猿楽屋敷の仁助に伝授している。大正期に中断し近年再興した。

The Takase Shishiodori, practiced in Shimoarisu, Sumita town, is in the lineage of the Yamaguchi style of the Gyozan School. It is also called Gassan Shishiodori since it is danced at the Gassan Shrine. In 1810, Chukichi from Shimoshimizu learned this shishiodori from Kinzo Endo at Jinokamiyashiki in Ide, Esashi city where he had gone to work. It is said that the youth also invited Kinzo to Takase community as their mentor in 1813. Designated as nakadachi (leader of the troupe) later, Chukichi taught this dance to Nisuke at Sarugakuyashiki in Yokota village, Rikuzentakata city. Although there was a moment of suspension during the Taisho period (1913-1926), it was revived in the recent years.
