～継承と進化～
大江高山神楽社中は、戦後間もない昭和２３年、邑智郡川本町の三谷神楽団から石見六調子神楽の教えを受けた、地元大代町の山邊八代姫命神社（やまべやしろひめのみことじんじゃ）の氏子有志により神楽団を結成。
昭和２９年、浜田市の細川衣装店にて衣装一式を作った際、初代店主から「大江高山神楽社中」の名前を付けていただきました。その後、過疎化により、団員の減少時期もありましたが、地元の子供たちへの指導にあたるなど、その継承に努めています。
これまでの伝承も継承しつつ、石見神楽の源流を追及すべく、日々、研鑽に努めています。
■演目 石見神楽「大蛇」
(やまたのおろち)
悪業のため高天原を追われた須佐之男命が出雲の国・斐川にさしかかると、老夫婦が嘆き悲しんでいました。訳を尋ねると、夫婦には8人の娘がいましたが、巨大な怪物の八岐大蛇が毎年あらわれて、7年に7人の娘をとられ、最後の1人も取られる運命にあるといいます。須佐之男命は、大蛇退治を約束し、毒酒を作らせ、これを大蛇が飲んで酔った所を退治しました。この時、大蛇の尾から出た剣は、天の村雲の剣（のちの草薙の剣）として天照皇大神に献上され、三種の神器の1つとして熱田神宮に祀られています。須佐之男命は助けた娘、奇稲田姫と結婚しました。
■Kagura ” Yamata no Orochi, Orochi ”
( This story was taken from a Japanese myth.)
Once upon a time, in the Province of Izumo, there was an old couple who had eight daughters.
One summer’s day, Yamata no Orochi, the monstrous serpent with eight heads and eight tails came from the big mountains and swallowed one of their daughters.
Every year, in the same season, the serpent appeared and swallowed one of their daughters.
Finally there was only one daughter named Kushinada-hime left, and now she was to be sacrificed.
The old couple and their daughter were lamenting their fate.
Then the god named Susano descended from the high heavens to the Hikawa River.
Susano told the old couple to prepare some “poisonous sake” and put it in front of Kushinada-hime who was to be sacrificed.
Orochi appeared with a thunder storm and drank all the sake, thinking that Kushinada-hime’s image reflecting on the sake was Kushinada-hime herself.
Orochi soon drank itself senseless.
Susano of the courageous god attacked Orochi.
A sword emerged from the tail of Orochi, which he named Ameno-urakumo-no-tsurugi.
and Susano married Kushinada-hime he saved, and they lived happily ever after in Izumo.
(Actually the monster is a metaphor of the mountain ranges of western Japan and the floods from these mountains. The daughter’s name is Kushinada-hime.
“Kushi” means “rare,” “inada” means “rice fields” and “hime” is a suffix for a girl. Therefore her name means “rice fields blessed with a rare bumper crop.” Therefore Yamata no Orochi (Eight-forked Serpent) tells the story of how Japan as a rice-producing country was born by protecting farmland from floods.)
■■Iwami Kagura
The Iwami region in Shimane Prefecture is home to an ancient ritual imbued with the vibrant spirit of the local community. Experience the unique spectacle that is Iwami Kagura, both a treasured tradition and a beloved part of everyday life.
■Popular Culture and Proud Tradition
Iwami Kagura is a form of kagura from the Iwami region, in western Shimane. Kagura began as a religious ritual, usually involving song and dance, performed in dedication to Shinto gods. Each ritual also tells a story, usually from Japanese mythology. Many regions of Japan have their own forms of kagura but Iwami Kagura really stands apart.
Unlike other variations of kagura or even traditional theater, which can seem inaccessible or exclusive, Iwami Kagura has evolved with the times, incorporating elements like pyrotechnics and smoke machines. There’s also nothing stuffy about the dramatic dancing, riveting musical accompaniment and flamboyant costumes. Performances are mostly held at local shrines, usually for 1,000 yen or less. It’s also normal to enjoy a beer or a snack in many venues (yes, even shrines). As a result, Iwami Kagura is firmly embedded in local, everyday culture.
