    The Gujo Bon Dance, with its 400-year history, is a summer tradition in the town of Gujo-hachiman.
    It is said that 70% of the participants are regular visitors. Especially during the Bon period, tens of thousands of people get together and dance all through the night. This washcloth called “tenugui” , is a traditional item with “Yukata”, too. On the tenugui, how-to instructions for the Gujo Bon Dance are printed. The town of Gujo-hachiman is the birthplace of modern screen printing. Each single year , we pick one of the ten Gujo dances to introduce the steps. The collection of total ten tenugui will be completed in 2018.
