The star Bandô Mitsugorô III performed in the 6th lunar month of 1826 at the Ichimuraza in a 3-role Kiyomoto-based hengemono entitled "Mata Koko-ni Kabuki no Hanadashi". The 3 roles were Take-no-Uchi no Sukeneya (a legendary character famous for his extraordinary long life), a fisherman fighting a giant octopus and a tekomai festival dancer. The fisherman and the dancer are nowadays independent dances, which are staged under the respective titles of "Omatsuri" and "Amiuchi".

A stylish and gallant Edo fireman boss is drawn into the merriment of the Sannô Matsuri, one of the main matsuri of the city of Edo. With the local youngsters and/or tekomai courtesans as his partners, he dances in the streets, expressing the air of excitement of a summer festival through his dance.

"Omatsuri" is considered as an auspicious dance for a star, who stages a comeback after a long sick leave.

The number of dancers is not fixed. It is possible to stage "Omatsuri" with or without tekomai courtesans.
