大家好，歡迎來到秋田縣的奧賀。

This is the Namahage Matsuri or the Namahage Seiro Matsuri.

這就是 "Namahage 祭 "或 "Namahage Seiro 祭"。

This is really a special festival and because it's the pandemic and I was invited here, there's less than a thousand people so there's loads of social distancing going on.

這確實是一個特殊的節日，因為是大流行病，我也被邀請來這裡，所以只有不到一千人，社會距離感很強。

But they didn't cancel this event and they really wanted it to continue to go and I'm documenting it for you because you can't make it here.

但他們並沒有取消這次活動，他們非常希望活動能繼續下去，因為你們不能來這裡，所以我為你們記錄下來。

As this takes place, I will kind of try my best to explain to you what is happening.

在此過程中，我會盡力向你們解釋發生了什麼。

The Namahage Seiro Festival takes place on the second Friday, Saturday and Sunday of February at Shinzan Shrine.

每年二月的第二個週五、週六和週日，神山神社都會舉行 "Namahage祭"。

Young men are purified by a Shinto priest, receive a mask which contains the spirit of the god and become Namahage themselves, returning to the mountain.

年輕人在神道士的淨化下，戴上蘊含神靈的面具，成為 Namahage，回到山中。

On the stage in the shrine's Kakuraden are some performances.

神社角樓殿的舞臺上有一些表演。

This is a reproduction of the New Year visit of the Namahage which I believe is called Sato no Namahage.

這是 "Namahage "新年訪問的複製品，我認為它被稱為 "Sato no Namahage"。

This is a Namahage dance performance created by Baku and Kan Ishii created in 1961.

這是由 Baku 和 Kan Ishii 於 1961 年創作的 Namahage 舞蹈表演。

The Namahage daiko drum performance with lights is very passionate.

It's one of the great daiko drum performances of Japan.

Namahage geizan, descending the mountain.

Seeing the Namahage walk the mountainside with torches is pretty surreal.

看到 Namahage 人舉著火把在山坡上行走，真是超現實。

They walk down and around the fire in the center of the shrine.

他們走下來，繞著神龕中央的火堆走了一圈。

The legend says that they carry knives and they walk down towards the fire where there might be some weak kids who are standing there to stay warm.

傳說中，他們帶著刀，向火堆走去，那裡可能有一些弱小的孩子站在那裡取暖。

Because they're warm near the fire, their skins might get dry, so they use those knives to carve off the skin of the kids.

因為靠近火堆取暖，孩子們的皮可能會變幹，所以他們會用這些刀子把孩子們的皮割下來。

This is a festival where a lot of kids end up crying and getting freaked out by these Namahage.

在這個節日裡，很多孩子都會被這些 Namahage 嚇哭。

Seeing the Namahage walk the mountainside with torches is pretty surreal.   Namahage geizan, descending the mountainside with torches is pretty surreal.
