Shishimai (lion dance) performed byKyosuke Kataoka and Asuka Kataoka of Shishigumi L.A. - Shishi-mai — the lion dance is a folk performing art traditionally handed down in the islands and villages of Okinawa, performed at the harvest festival or kyū-bon1. Like shīsā, the stone-made Okinawan lions are placed on the rooftop or gateposts of a house for good luck. This dance is believed to have the power to bring an abundant crop and prosperity to a village.
