Funabashi City Traditional Performance "Baka-men Odori" (Baka mask dance)

Bakamen Odori (silly mask dance)
At the Funabashi site, in addition to the standard food stalls and performances such as yosakoi and wadaikoi (Japanese drum), visitors can enjoy the Bakamen Odori, a traditional dance performance in which people wear "bakamen" (silly masks), a traditional performing art of Funabashi City! The origin of baka-men dates back to the Meiji era (1868-1912), when fishermen performed the baka-men dance to pray for good luck and to drive away evil spirits. It is a very exciting parade where people wearing masks with funny faces and dancing to the music of "Ohayashis" make you laugh and smile♪.
