［HD］世界遺産・白川郷のどぶろく祭　Doburoku（sake) festival in Shirakawago（world heritage） 花の名所案内

撮影：2013年10月21、22日　世界遺産の白川郷では毎年、秋に、五穀豊穰・家内安全・里の平和を山の神様に祈願する「どぶろく祭」が盛大に行われます。白川村の各地区の神社で、御神幸、獅子舞、歴史と民話にまつわる民謡や舞踊などの神事が繰り広げられる、歴史と伝統ある白川郷ならではの祭りです。その名のとおり、祭礼に神酒として「どぶろく」が用いられ、人々にも振る舞われるのが最大の特徴。この映像は、荻町合掌造り集落南の白川八幡宮で開催されたものを撮影しました。

Doburoku（sake) festival of Shirakawago
Shirakawago is a village of world heritage.
The Doburoku festival is held each year in Shirakawago to give thanks for the autumn harvest. Doburoku itself is sake.
On the day of the festival, they take part in the procession that circles the village and pass out doburoku at the shrine.
Doburoku is a milky white, unrefined sake made from rice, rice malt, and other ingredients. In Shirakawa it is brewed every January in a storehouse on the grounds of the Shirakawa Hachiman Shrine, where the village's guardian deity is enshrined.
During the festival it is handed out to visitors, while lion dances, folksongs, and other types of traditional entertainment are performed and prayers are made to the mountain gods for a bountiful harvest and household safety.
