Synopsis

Kagura refers to the performance of traditional Shinto music and dance. In the northeastern part of Japan, the Kuromori Kagura Troupe has been visiting the villages of Iwate Prefecture for more than 340 years, providing repose for the souls of the deceased and encouragement for the living. This film takes us on a fascinating journey into a country where gods, spirits, and demons still roam.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 10

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
