Chakkirako - Chakkirako

Japanese: チャッキラコ - ちゃっきらこ

This is a Kota dance performed at the festival on January 15th at Kainan Shrine (Misaki, Miura City) in Kanagawa Prefecture. It is danced by about 20 girls between the ages of 7 and 13 from the Hanagure and Nakasaki districts, but the singing is done by middle-aged women. There are six traditional pieces: "Hatsuise," "Chakkirako," "Nihonodori," "Yosasaodori," "Kamakurabushi," and "Oise Mairi." The name is said to come from the dance being performed while striking two kokiriko (arabamboo sticks) with a "cha-kira-ko" sound. The other pieces are unaccompanied. "Oise Mairi" is danced with a ladle, and is thought to depict the customs of the Ise Shrine pilgrimage. The rest are in the form of a fan dance. It is thought to be related to the Yayako Dance, the precursor to Okuni Kabuki, but it is unclear. From the end of the Meiji period, the costumes changed to those of Shirabyōshi (traditional dancers), but today they have reverted to the old style and dance in formal attire. It was designated an Important Intangible Folk Cultural Property of Japan (1976).

Furthermore, in 2009, it was registered as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization).

神奈川県の海南神社（三浦市三崎）の1月15日の祭りに踊られる小歌(こうた)踊。花暮(はなぐれ)と仲崎(なかさき)地区の7歳から13歳ぐらいまでの少女約20名で踊るが、歌は中年の女性たちが受け持つ。伝承曲目は『ハツイセ』『チャッキラコ』『二本踊』『よささ踊』『鎌倉節』『お伊勢(いせ)参り』の6曲。2本のこきりこ（綾竹(あやたけ)）をチャッ・キラ・コと打ちながら踊るところから出た名称という。他の曲は無伴奏。『お伊勢参り』は柄杓(ひしゃく)を持って踊り、伊勢参宮の風俗を写したものと思われる。その他は扇踊形式。阿国歌舞伎(おくにかぶき)の前身ややこ踊との関連が考えられるが不詳。明治末ごろから白拍子(しらびょうし)風の扮装(ふんそう)になったが、今日では昔に戻して晴れ着で踊る。国の重要無形民俗文化財（1976）に指定された。
