Miyakejima Shinto Ritual

Held on the volcanic island of Miyakejima some 180 kilometers south of Tokyo, Miyakejima no Shinji is a pair of sacred rituals designated as Tokyo Metropolitan Intangible Folk Cultural Properties in 1957. Performed at Oshaku Shrine and Gosai Shrine, the dances and chants preserve echoes of Heian-period court culture, carried on for a thousand years by the Mibu priestly family. Suspended by the 2000 volcanic evacuation, they are steadily being revived.
