What was in the heroine's hand when she danced at the end of the first season of Genki Girl Kagemusha?
The dance is a kagura dance performed by witches who serve the gods. The kagura bell in her hand is the kagura bell ~ the witch dances with a bell, a fan, or a yangtongue branch in her hand. Kagura-mai is an ancient Japanese dance performed by witches in order to pray and make the gods happy. It is actually a form of possession by the gods that survived from ancient times, and was later transformed into a prayer dance. Many shrines in Japan still perform kagura. In outdoor performances, the witches dance with bells wrapped in white paper.
