Awa Odori Dance
is based on the Bon festival performed in the castle town of Tokushima.
In fact Bon Festival is held in every prefecture in Japan.
Among them, Awa Odori is one of the largest summer dance festivals in Japan.
The following video is "Tokushima Golden Tour" and Awa Odori starts in 4 minutes 13 seconds.
Tokushima used to be called "Awa" and Odori means dancing.

While dancing, we call out "Dancing fool, watching fool. Both are the same fool, so why don't you dance?"
