Mishima lies at the foot of Mount Fuji, in Shizuoka Prefecture. Its main shrine, Mishima Taisha, is said to have been founded in the 8th century to enshrine the deities of the mountain and the sea. Each year in August, the Mishima Grand Festival is held in the area around the shrine. The streets reverberate with excitement and the sound of shagiri, a percussive music that derives from festival music dating back over 450 years. Canadian actor Kyle Card is a major fan of Japanese festivals. On this edition of Journeys in Japan he delves deep into the way communities in Mishima are brought together through the vibrant rhythms of shagiri.
