Ronin Dance
This folk dance has been continued in Matsuzaki for 400 years. This dance is to to honor samurai, though its roots come from a dance honoring Buddha. Currently, the dancers wear all black, and do their best to represent ronin (master-less samurai). It has been selected as one of the intangible folk assets of Tottori Prefecture.
