Sado Island<\/strong>, located off the coast of Niigata<\/strong> in the Sea of Japan<\/strong>, has a rich and varied cultural background<\/strong>. There are many folklore and religious traditions<\/strong> passed down from generation to generation on the island. Among those, Sado can count Ondeko<\/strong>, a dance performed by deity masked to the sound of a drum. A very popular art form on the island that we had the chance to witness. Here\u2019s our experience.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

History and origins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If the origins of this Deity Masked Dance are quite blurry, the first appearances of the dance on the island are thought to date back to the 17th century and have since evolved into the dance still performed to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I should actually use the plural form\u2014dances\u2014as you can count five different types of Ondeko<\/strong> on Sado, with variations in each region of the island. But even though hundreds of dance troupes and several variations of the dance exist, there is always one common goal: to pray for good harvest, a good catch and good health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hayoshi’s Ondeko Festival<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My very first experience as a spectator of an ondeko drumming and dancing performance was in the hamlet of Hayoshi<\/strong>, not too far from Ryotsu Harbor<\/strong> on Sado Island. During the festival I attended, the type of Ondeko dance I was able to see included two deities, or oni<\/em><\/strong>. A male one with dark hair and a closed mouth, and a female one with fair hair and an open mouth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The two protagonists were not dancing at the same time, but one after the other to a slightly changing drum rhythm, depending on the deity \u2014a bit stronger and pronounced for the male deity, and softer and more subtle for the female one.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

I was expecting a traditional festival with dancers parading in the main street of the village among a crowd of locals, so I was rather surprised to discover quite a different reality. The troupe of dancers and drummers was actually going from one home to the next in the small streets of the hamlet, warding off evil spirits from every household in exchange for offerings. No more than 15 people in total, creating a very intimate environment.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Following the troupe among locals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On top of the four dancers, taking turns to incarnate the deities, the festival procession was made of two persons in charge of moving around the drum decorated with a few bamboo leaves and several drummers playing in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

They all wore the same jacket with the colors of the festival: a bright blue and red. For the deities, however, their costume was a lot more detailed, made of several layers of fabric. The same symbol as the one on the drum could be found on their trousers and on their chest.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

As for the masks, which can vary slightly from one Ondeko troupe to another, this troupe’s was decorated with horns and very long hair, adding a dramatic element to the dance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

So there I was, following a small crowd of locals from house to house. Each time the procedure is exactly the same. The drum is placed facing the front door of the house, which has been carefully opened beforehand. Every household offers a few drinks and snacks to the troupe, it is a festival after all! The dance can then get started, with the male deity first and then the female one. The first one slowly dances closer to the drum until he ends up hitting it. The intensity of the rhythm as well as that of the dance movements gradually increases until it becomes quite powerful.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The oni<\/em> alternately turns towards the drum and towards the house, in which he sometimes enters.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Ondeko<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Behind the frightening masks and the religious aspect of this ritual, the atmosphere is actually quite relaxed and friendly. I can tell the troupe is happy to share their tradition with me and allow me to try drumming! All in all, I was not disappointed as I left the Ondeko Festival as this was a unique way to immerse myself in Sado Island’s rich culture<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n

Reaching Sado Island<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

From Tokyo:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Start your journey by reaching Niigata. The Tokyo-Niigata trip is easily made via the Joetsu Shinkansen Line<\/strong> in about 2 hours. You will then need to take a ferry from Niigata Harbor, located 3km away from Niigata Station.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sado Kisen ferry boats<\/strong> travel from Niigata<\/strong> to Ryotsu Harbor<\/strong> on Sado Island<\/strong> several times a day. You have the option to take an express ferry taking you there in just over an hour, or a regular ferry connecting the two harbors in about 2 hours and 30 minutes. Here is the ferry company\u2019s website<\/a> (available in english) for more information on the timetables and prices.<\/p>\n\n\n

To get around the island you can also rent a car or travel by taxi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Kanazawa:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
