Eejanaika (Great Dance) - Oodori (Great Dance)

The name comes from the phrases chanted by the people while dancing, such as "Eejanaika," "Yoijainaika," and "Iijainaika," but during the Keio period it was often called O-kudari (Suruga, Omi), Ofuda-dori (Totomi), Okage (Ise, Kawachi), Okage Sodo (Ise), Okage Festival (Shinano), O-odori (Awa, Bizen), Suzume-odori (Awaji), Choitosa Festival (Shinano), and Yachoro Festival (Shinano). It was only after 1931 that "Eejanaika" became established as an academic term in the academic world. ...
