This article will examine historical changes in the sacred music and dance of daidaikô-kagura performed at Tsushima-jinja shrine in Aichi prefecture. Although Tsushima-jinja has been a rich and important shrine since the mediaeval era, the rituals and performing arts at the shrine have not been fully explored. With its vast territories and splendid buildings, the shrine played an important role as one of the main places of go-ô shinkô belief (protection against disease and illness). This article will first clarify the current situation of the dance and music of daidaikô-kagura based on my own fieldwork. Secondly it will explore how the dance was conducted in the Edo period, and thirdly how and when the old practices were replaced with the current dance and music, through an analysis of historical documents.The daidaikô-kagura was an offering to the gods sponsored by a believers’ organization ‘daidaikô.’ The present-day daidaikô-kagura consists of ‘Yakumo-mai’ dance performed by shrine maidens and ‘Sonokoma’ dance by a male priest. ‘Yakumo-mai’ is a relatively new dance, which was created by the court musician Ôno Tadatomo（1883-1956）in 1927. ‘Sonokoma’ is much older, dating from the Heian period, and has been exclusively played at court rituals. It was only allowed to be performed at Tsushima after the Meiji Restoration. Several sources of the Edo period show that at that time daidaikô-kagura at Tsushima had a number of exciting features; throwing boiled water, shrine maiden dances, scattering of rice grains, shooting arrows, and dancing around the alter. This article will consider the meaning of the employment of ‘Yakumo-mai’ and ‘Sonokoma’ into the daidaikô-kagura in the modern period in the light of ‘locality’ and ‘centralization’ of the performing arts.
