Yokkaichi Festival

I will tell you my city festival, Yokkaichi festival of fall. In this year, it was held on 4th and 5th of October. The content is that a daimyo’s procession and many people walked and walked everywhere with Shishimai which is said in English, a lion dance. There is Yokkaichi festival in summer that is concerned with street vendor’s stall, but this fall festival is concerned with culture. So, famous things appear every time, for example, a huge monster with a tonsured head which is called Oonyuudou, a float which is called dashi and so on. And this purpose is that dedicate nerimono which is kind of float. But these nerimono are not same shape in Yokkaichi festival, so we can enjoy watching many variations.
In this fall Yokkaichi festival, we can many things that we cannot watch in the summer Yokkaichi festival. For example, whale of ships, makigari and so on. What is makigari? It is that we run down a beast and catch it.
And in this festival, we can listen to beating drams. The sound is nice. So if you come to this fall festival in Yokkaichi, you will enjoy it and watch and hear many things you have not ever seen.
