Raccoon Dogs Dancing at Sho-Jo-ji Temple

English Translation At Sho-Jo-ji Temple

The garden is bright on the moonlit night.

Let's come and together,

We are raccoon dog friends,

Pon poko pon no pon! Keep up with the Priest (of Sho-Jo-ji Temple),

Let's come and beat on the belly drum together. At Sho-Jo-ji Temple,

The (Japanese) bush clover is in full bloom on the moonlit night.

How merry and playful!

Pon poko pon no pon!

In Japan, we believe (especially when we are small) that the raccoon dog plays the belly drum with their front legs while standing on their hind legs. Sho-Jo-ji Temple is famous for the tradition of the raccoon dog belly drum."
