The first Watanabe Oito who spread Yasugi-bushi all over Japan

We can’t talk about “Yasugi-bushi” without this person. We introduce the first Watanabe Oito, who is also an honorary citizen of Yasugi. ※Copyright setting available (unauthorized diversion of photos related to Oito is prohibited)

 

Born on November 6, Meiji 9 (1989), she became an honorary citizen of Yasugi at the age of 79.
