角浜駒踊り

戦国時代、南部八戸藩は青森県南から岩手県北地方を治めていました。駒踊りは、当時の戦いの出陣の様子や戦場での騎馬戦の様子などを舞踊化したものと伝えられています。また、軍馬や農耕馬として常に人々の支えであった馬の安全とともに、戦地に果てた馬や先祖の霊を慰めるために踊ったとも伝えられています。
昭和53年からは、郷土芸能の伝承と子供たちの体力づくりや健全育成のため、地元小中学校の運動会や文化祭等で取り入れられ、現在は保存会とともに、小中学校の児童・生徒たちも伝承しています。
駒を着用して演ずる７種類の踊りと、棒や太刀、長刀などを用いて演ずる棒舞７種類の計14種類があります。

During the Warring States period, the Nanbu Hachinohe Clan ruled the area from southern Aomori to northern Iwate. The Koma Odori dance is said to be a dance that depicts the scene of going into battle, and cavalry battles at that time. It is also said that the dance was performed to comfort the spirits of horses and ancestors who died in battle, as well as to ensure the safety of the horses, which always supported the people as war and farm horses.
Since 1978, the dance has also been performed by children at local elementary and junior high school athletic meets and cultural festivals to pass on the geinoh and to promote their physical fitness and growth.
There are 14 types of dances: 7 dances performed with horse-like costumes, and 7 stick dances performed with poles, swords, and long swords.
