柿岡じゃかもこじゃん(八幡宮太々神楽）Kakioka Jakamokojan (Hachiman Shrine daidai Kagura)

文禄4年（1595年）小田一族にかわって柿岡城主となった佐竹の長倉義興が、長倉家と柿岡領内の武運と繁栄を祈願し八幡神社を建立した際に、伊勢皇大神宮より奉納舞二十四神楽のうちの十二神楽舞を持ち帰り、八幡神社へ奉納したのが起源とされています。旧暦8月15日にあたる中秋の名月の夜、国堅・老翁・種稼・龍神・地法・神酒の舞・西之宮・鈿女・岩戸・戸隠・猿田彦・山之神の十二の神楽舞が5時間にわたり奉納されていますが太々神楽は十二種の舞1国堅（くにがため）の舞 2老翁（おきな）の舞 3天狐種嫁（てんこたねがし）の舞 4龍神（りゅうじん）の舞 ５座目の赤鬼・地法の舞、が終わった後に撒き餅の場面があり、餅を拾う見物人たちで大変にぎやかに境内が一気に響めく場面が訪れた。地元の方によると、「今回はここ数年の中で一番に賑わいかな」と口ずさむ声が聞こえた。神楽は石岡で３ッ箇所があり柿岡の八幡宮太々神楽、根小屋七大天神社代々神楽、染谷佐志能神社十二座神楽があり染谷神楽は根小屋神楽とは近い関係があるとされている。根小屋から染谷に伝わったとされる節もある。染谷十二座神楽は石岡お祭りで総社神社に於いて奉納されている。柿岡、根小屋の神楽はいずれも「じゃかもこじゃん」の愛称でも親しまれている。 In 1595, Yoshioki Nagakura of Satake, who replaced the Oda clan as the lord of Kakioka Castle, built Hachiman Shrine to pray for the military fortune and prosperity of the Nagakura clan and the Kakioka territory, and it was dedicated from Ise Kodai Shrine. It is said that the origin of this festival is when 12 of the 24 Kagura dances were taken home and dedicated to Hachiman Shrine.

There are three Kagura locations in Ishioka: Hachiman Shrine Taida Kagura in Kakioka, Negoya Shichidaitenjin Shrine Generations Kagura, and Someya Sashino Shrine Juniza Kagura, and Someya Kagura is said to be closely related to Negoya Kagura.
