There are two broad types of kagura. One is Imperial kagura, also known as "mikagura". This style was developed in the imperial court and is still performed on imperial grounds every December. It is also performed at the Imperial harvest festival and at major shrines such as Ise, Kamo, and Iwashimizu Hachiman-gū. It is performed by singers and musicians using "shakubyoshi" wooden clappers, a "hichiriki", a "kagura-bue" flute, and a six-stringed zither. The other main type is "sato-kagura", descended from "mikagura" and performed at shrines across Japan. Depending on the style, it is performed by "miko" or by actors wearing masks to portray various mythological figures. These actors are accompanied by a "hayashi" band using flutes and drums. There are also other, regional types of kagura.
