A long time ago, there were people who crossed the sea to the Japanese archipelago. They went deep into the mountains in search of metal, and mountain worship was born there.
Eventually, the ancient people who visited the Tohoku region went north on the Kitakami River, and many ruins of ironworks remain around there as a result. The site of the oldest gold mine in Japan is also located on the Oshika Peninsula, and those who sought out such metals worshiped the deer as a sacred beast.
It was believed that the technique of extracting metal from nature using fire came from magic. As the extracting process requires fire, it is said that the gods of fire they had worshiped became the Stove God and Hyottoko (fire man).
What kind of relationship did humans have with nature, which was considered divine in Japan? By observing and immersing ourselves in that, we thought we might perhaps glimpse ways for dealing with the sacred. A festival serves as a site for people to come into contact with the sacred, and that is where the archetypes of art and performance lie. We now hope to get in touch with the “things” pregnant with the secret of performance and in which sacred power resides.
