Suddenly there was a great storm and three masks of 竜神 the Dragon Deity fell on the ground.
This is the beginning of the shishimai 獅子舞 lion dance of the village. From upriver of the 江戸川 Edogawa there came the masks of the Dragon Deity and when the villagers performed the dance with them, there would be rain.
After dancing for seven days and nights the masks were seen as kami no tsukai 神の使い the messengers of the Deity and the villagers performed their ritual dance.
