My video report on Oni-Daiko ( Demon Dance ) has been published in ZoominTV, The Netherlands. Sado is the land of ‘Onidaiko’ that is Demon Dance with Japanese drum’s beats. This is one of the common features of Sado popular culture. Whereas worldwide demon that is evil spirit has been considered as negative force. But Sado people believe reversely. They believe, if evil spirit becomes happy and permit, the good fortune comes easily. So regularly, Sado people arranged Oni-daiko performance. There are around 120-demon dram group in Sado. In these performing arts, the performers wear the dress like monster. Oni-daiko is practicing in Sado for over 500 years as popular culture stuff.
