The Yagibushi (八木節) is a popular folk song and dance performed at matsuri in Gunma and Tochigi, Japan. It consists of dancers with broad hats called kasa going in a counter clockwise circle around a mikoshi. The dance is very energetic and ends with everyone throwing their hats in the air.
The song was first sung by Seizo , who was from Yagi in Tochigi.
