An international festival featuring folklore performing arts is underway in Tokyo.
About 80 performers from Japan, Thailand and Estonia are taking part in the annual event organized by Japan's Cultural Affairs Agency.
A group of children from Sendai, northern Japan, performed a traditional dance that imitates the movements of rice planting.
The dance, which is usually performed in January to pray for a good harvest, was designated as a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage last year.
A troupe from the Estonian island of Kihnu presented wedding songs and dances that have been preserved and passed on by generations of women.
The dancers wore handmade traditional costumes. The bridegroom is the only male performer.
The festival will run through Wednesday.
