Ogi is a small port town located on the southern tip of Sado Island
in Niigata Prefecture. The local villagers play this piece throughout
Ogi Village every August on taiko placed horizontally on large mobile
carts.
In the early days of Nagata Shachu, Ogi Matsuri was played sideways
(yoko uchi) as the solo section for Miyake Daiko. It has never been
performed in a full concert and these days, is usually reserved for
children's performances using masks. |
