Gujo Odori has ten dance songs. During Gujo Odori, the dances and music go on continuously with live music and singers. So when do the musicians take a break?
gu737-20211115-1287.jpg
So happens that there are dance songs having no shamisen or no flutes or no taiko drumming, etc. That's when those musicians can take a break. Clever.

About Iwasaki Takizo (1895–1965), inventor of the ubiquitous food replicas we see in restaurants in Japan. He was from Gujo-Hachiman where today over 50% of Japan's food replicas are made. He made his first food replica, an omelette, in 1932.

Food replicas used to be made with agar and wax. Now they are made with silicone and resin. Food replica companies founded by Iwasaki still make the most food replicas in Japan.
