田た植うえ踊おどり

noun

refined rice-planting dance

A traditional folk dance from the Tōhoku region, performed around the middle of the first lunar month. It is a more polished version of the ta-asobi (田遊び) ritual, which mimics rice-planting to pray for a good harvest. The term is specific to Japanese folklore and may not be widely known outside of cultural contexts.
