    A performer with the Azoza Kids Kagura Association performs a dance as a samurai warrior during “Akkonden,” also known as the evil fox legend, during a cultural enrichment event at Marine Corps Air station Iwakuni, Japan, July 17, 2023. The performance, also known as Kagura, originated in the eighth century to offer prayers to mythical gods. Today, such performances are used to show gratitude to nature, praying for both world peace and a good harvest of crops. (U.S. Marine Corps Photo by Lance Cpl. Micah Taylor)
