i've come to meet watanabe aritsune, who carves traditional oni, or demon masks, worn by the festival'sk. one more, one more. 0k. one more, one more chair. here? no, next to. next to it. laughs. we got there in the end. what's in front of me? so, five oni masks in front of you. the masks are a tactile symbol of what once was and what is now. and i think that's beautiful to still have that within the small communities of the island. so, here is his mask. so that usually male only closing their mouths. 0h. 0h! that's scary. how does it feel when you see your masks in the festival? are you proud? i loves the lion's mechanicaljaw. i think that was one of my favourite parts. yeah, i like that. the tactile experience is now going to make the festival come alive to me in my mind. i now have a picture of what they may be wearing. i can have an audio description of how they dance, and then i'm hearing the music. i can fully immerse myself in the festival, so i'm really excited. drum beats. there are over 100 onidaiko dance groups on the island and they dedicate their performances to a shrine. th
