In front of the Shinkikurumayose entrance, there is a representation of the Gosechinomai courtly dance. It used to be performed in the shinjosai (an annual rite in which the Emperor makes an offering of the newly harvested rice to the deities to thank them for the blessing), but now it is only performed in the Daijosai (the first Shinjosai performed for the newly enthroned Emperor).
There are 4 or 5 female court dancers who dance to the accompainment of the traditional music and a song.
