Sarudono and Usahime, today We’re going to buy a yukata (summer kimono)
(USAHIME)
What? A yukata?
(SARUDONO)
And why ?
Yes.
From July 1 (Mon.) to 31 (Wed.), an event called “Umeda Yukata Matsuri” will be held in Umeda, Osaka, under the theme of “Let’s all travel together and dance”.
I would like to go to the main event “Yukata de Bon Odori(Dance)” (Saturday, July 20 and Sunday, July 21) wearing a yukata.
(SARUDONO)
Oh, “Yukata de Bon Odori” (Bon dance in yukata).
What kind of event is it?
Yes.
The location is Grand Front Osaka, Umekita Plaza.
The schedule is
16:30 – 16:50
Dance performance by ginjiro, PR Ambassador of Expo Ondo Project
18:00-18:20
Bon dance performance by parents and children to popular children’s cartoon songs and classic songs such as “Bahama Mama
18:45 – 19:10
Traditional Bon Dance
19:30 – 20:00
Bon dance to the latest hit songs and other original choreography
(USAHIME)
Dancing to the latest hit song is quite a novelt!
(SARUDONO)
Bon Odori, as the name suggests, is a Bon Festival event.
The purpose of Bon Odori was to hold memorial services for the ancestors.
I didn’t know that！
(SARUDONO)
We came here from the Edo period (1603-1867), but the Bon Odori dance, which is supposed to be a memorial service for our ancestors, has become more and more extravagant.
Because so many people gathered, fights broke out constantly.
(USAHIME)
In the Edo period, Bon Dancing was also a place for men and women to meet.
Is that so?
(SARUDONO)
Yes.
Bon dances were becoming more and more extravagant and often caused trouble, so the Edo shogunate considered it a problem.
Finally, in 1685, Bon Dancing was banned in Edo Castle.
I am sorry to hear that!
(SARUDONO)
Hmmm.
But still, it’s been a while since I danced.
(USAHIME)
I’m not sure I’ll be able to dance.
There is no need to worry!
We have many role models, so even if you don’t know the choreography of Bon Odori, it will be fine.
(SARUDONO)
Oh.
That’s a relief.
(USAHIME)
What kind of yukata should I wear to the Umeda Yukata Festival?
