Japanese culture Kagura "Takiyasha-hime" Hiroshima 2022

Kagura / Kinsho Kagura troupe
This is a digest version of the Hiroshima Kagura Regular Performance 2022 held on December 7, 2022.
It is held every Wednesday at the Hiroshima Prefectural Culture Center in Hiroshima, Japan.
Performed by the Kinsho Kagura troupe from Toyohira, Kitahiroshima-cho, Hiroshima City, and the program is "Takiyasha-hime".
“Takiyasha-hime"
The self-proclaimed New Emperor of the Eastern Provinces, Taira-no-Masakado, is defeated in the Battle of Tengyō by the imperial warriors Fujiwara-no-Hidesato and Taira-no-Sadamori.
Masakado's only remaining daughter, Satsuki-hime, goes to pray at the Kifune Shrine in Kyoto, asking the gods to imbue her with powerful magic so that she may avenge the death of her father. Hearing her pleas and taking sympathy, the gods grant her wish and turn her into a fearsome demon sorceress.
Satsuki-hime takes the name Takiyasha-hime and returns to her father's hometown of Souma to rally supporters still loyal to her father to take on the imperial army that murdered him.
When news of Takiyasha’s plans reach the capital, the imperial court orders Mitsukuni, a powerful sorcerer in his own right, to eliminate her. Mitsukuni meets Takiyasha on the field of battle where she is defeated, leaving her quest to seek vengeance unfinished.
The "Hiroshima Kagura Regular Performance" is held every Wednesday at the Hiroshima Prefectural Culture Center in Otemachi, Naka-ku, Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, with the aim of conveying the appeal of "Hiroshima Kagura" to people from many directions, including tourists from the center of Hiroshima City and abroad.

Thank you for your comment, I am very happy.
Among the many Kagura troupes, the Kinsho Kagura troupe this time has top-class acting ability and instruction, and the costumes are gorgeous and rare items that have been handed down from generation to generation.
