A Hana Festival just like a Japanese myth

The Hana Festival is held annually in areas around the town of Toei from November to March and has continued for more than 700 years. It is even designated a national important intangible folk cultural property. Of the Hana Festivals, the one performed at Naka-Shitara is characteristically Shinto.
Much of the festival's content is based on Shinto myths and the main demons appearing are named after Japan's Shinto gods. What is normally the Sakaki Oni Demon is referred to as god Sarutahiko no Mikoto, the Yamami Oni Demon is god Susano'o no Mikoto, and the Mokichi Oni Demon is god Okuninushi no Mikoto. During the dance, Japan's supreme goddess, Amaterasu no Omikoto hides in a cave. Once the other gods perform a Shinto dance in front of the cave, she is revealed as goes the Japanese lore.
