Awa Odori Dancers
Japanese mid-century cast iron figurines
Awa Odori is Japan’s largest traditional dance festival held annually from August 12-15 in Tokushima Prefecture
The dancers wear iconic amigasa on their heads, uniquely-shaped folded straw hats with sloping slides and worn tilted forwards
They perform in troupes called ren with musicians playing traditional instruments such as shamisen, taiko drums, shinobue flutes and kane bells
These cast iron pieces were most likely made for the tourist and export markets, as indicated by the “Japan” sticker on the base of one figurine
