Our energetic onna odori choreography is a popular attraction and a joy to watch, featuring steps and turns not found in other teams.
Onna Odori (Women's Dance Part)
Otoko Odori (Men's Dance Part)
In keeping with classical style Awa Odori, our otoko odori strive to express a stirringly subtle masculinity through the skillful blending of still form and fluid motion.
Happi Odori
A small group of dancers in white happi coats leading the parade behind the giant takahari lanterns. Chic in appearance and both skillful and elegant in motion, they are the popular figureheads of Tokyo Ebisuren.
Narimono (Musicians)
Many teams these days emphasise an aggressive rhythm through heavy percussion. By contrast, our narimono section remains true to its classical roots, focussing on a nuanced rendition of the "Yoshikono bushi" melody―the traditional Tokushima folk song most closely associated with Awa Odori.
