Ballad of Gion
For centuries this dance and song has been a staple for Ozashiki. Gion Kouta or “Ballad of Gion” is performed by every Hanamachi in Gion. Each district tweaks the dances a little, maybe using fans, or adding another chorus to the melody. But still, after all these years it has continued to be the forefront of Ozashiki Asobi.
