	Awa Life - May 2003 - AWA ODORI TRILOGY 1 - History and Origins
		Awa Odori is connected with bon, a buddhist holiday and festival in mid-August that all Japan celebrates, when the spirits of the dead are supposed to return to their ancestral homes.
		Kami odori was known in Tokushima as the taiko odori, or 'Japanese drum dance', and the kasa-odori, or 'hat dance', until the visit of the Crown Prince (the future Showa Emperor) to Tokushima in 1922.
		The second instalment of this trilogy on Awa Odori will discuss the colourful history that emerged as a result of the constant struggle between regional, national and international events that strove to suppress the dance and the people who kept the dance alive.

		The Awa Dance features organized teams of dancers, which is suggested to have been influenced by "Furyu"-a performing art from the Heian period that later became Noh.
		The third theory relies on Miyoshi district records from the year 1663 of a Furyu dance at the Shozui Castle, considering this performance to be the origin of the Awa Dance.
		In the 1920s the dance festival became organized to attract tourism and was named "Awa Odori." Every August 12th to 15th the streets of Tokushima teem with high-spirited folks enjoying a festival atmosphere.
