なもみ太鼓｜なもみ太鼓の会

伝承する神楽など伝統芸能が途絶える中、昭和６３年４月に村の若者が中心となり、新しい郷土芸能を創作しようと誕生しました。以来、村の祭りなどをはじめ、県内外の観光イベント、文化行事等に参加しています。 

「なもみ」は、小正月に無病息災、五穀豊穣などを願い家々を回る、村に伝わる伝統行事から名付けました。 

震災、コロナ禍で活動が厳しい時期もありましたが、元気な子供たちも加わり、次世代に継承できるように週２回の練習は、村の体育館で聴く人の心に響く太鼓を目標に頑張っています。 

Amidst the decline of traditional performing arts such as kagura, a group of young villagers came together in April 1988 to create a new form of local performing art. Since then, they have participated in village festivals, tourism events, and cultural events both within and outside the prefecture.

The name “Namomi” comes from a traditional village event in which people visit each other’s homes during the Little New Year to pray for good health and a bountiful harvest. Although activities were difficult at times due to the earthquake and COVID-19 pandemic, energetic children have joined in, and the group is working hard to pass on the tradition to the next generation, practicing twice a week at the village gymnasium with the goal of playing drums that resonate in the hearts of the audience.
