Sato kagura
Sato kagura (里神楽), or village kagura, is a popular form of kagura that presents ritualized dance-dramas reenacting mythological themes, including the primal restoration of sunlight to the world. It is often heard during festivals, when musicians accompany their songs on flutes and a variety of drums.
All forms of kagura other than mikagura, which is associated with the imperial court, can be considered sato kagura.[1]
