Nakayama Festival (held on the night of the 15th day of the 8th lunar month)

*The 47th Nakayama Festival is supported by Higashimatsuyama City as well as many companies and organizations.

• Recalling the concept of "Children's Hometown Building" from the time when the Nakayama Festival began, we would like to create a place of "memory" for children living in the area.
• In addition, due to the declining birthrate and aging population, our community association has been unable to be as active as in the past.While some members enjoy participating in our activities and find them meaningful, there is a tendency that the number of members who are straining to maintain the activities of the community association and who are concerned that they will eventually reach their limits has been increasing every year.
• This, combined with the refraining from going out and socializing due to the new coronavirus, has put a yellow light on the maintenance of the foundation of mutual aid, which is based on horizontal ties, and is one of the reasons for the existence of neighborhood associations.
• In the same vein, with the new coronavirus countermeasures and financial pressure factors due to the declining birthrate, aging population, and dispersion of urban functions, we cannot expect too much from "public assistance," and we felt that rebuilding the foundation of "mutual assistance" here is important for the future lives of the local government members.
• Therefore, the 46th Nakayama Festival was held in 2023 with the idea of creating a place for exchange in a new form, without being bound by old precedents (style).
• This year, we hope to carry on this tradition and make it an even better place.

Shirasaka Taiko drummers
(Japanese drumming)

Organization

Hello, everyone! We are Shirasaka Taiko!

Shirasaka Taiko was established in 1979. The group was founded in 1979 when volunteers from the Shirasaka neighborhood association taught the children to play the Bon Odori dance "Yagura Daiko" during a summer festival held by the community association, so that the children would have a memorable experience. Later, we began playing kumidaiko and Chichibu yatai-bayashi, and have been performing at local festivals and events for nearly 40 years.

Our motto is "Fun for Everyone♪"
We practice daily to make taiko fun to watch, fun to listen to, and fun to play.

The songs we will be performing will be Shirasaka-gumi Taiko, Chichibu Yatai-bayashi, and Ko-yu (tentative).　Thank you for your cooperation!

We are looking for new members, so please contact us if you are interested!

• Practice Location: Hirano Community Activity Center
• Practice time: Sunday 17:30-19:30

Now, the "Nakayama Festival" has been widely established by our members as a summer tradition in the Higashidaira Nakayama Complex since the Showa Period.
There was a time when we had to cancel the event due to the spread of the new coronavirus infection, but since then, we would like to create a place for bonding among community members in a new format that is not bound by conventional practice.

As in previous years, the Nakayama Festival is " building a hometown for our children and grandchildren.And let's create a place for exchange and a circle of mutual help that is not bound by precedent but is in line with the times." is the theme of , and plans are underway with the participation and cooperation of a wide range of people, from planning and management to financial support.

Through this festival, we hope to increase the sense of solidarity and attachment to our hometown among people living together in Dongpyeong Nakayama Danchi and its neighborhoods.This year, we are planning to hold the 47th festival so that everyone from children to the elderly can enjoy the festival and experience firsthand the heart-to-heart communication and vitality of Nakayama.
