I post a video of the Saijo Festival.
Please follow me!
An Introduction to Saijo Matsuri
Saijo Matsuri is a grand festival held every October in the city of Saijo in Ehime Prefecture. In this harvest festival with over 300 years of tradition, enormous hand-carried floats called danjiri and mikoshi are presented to local shrines. There are more than 150 floats in the city.
There are 81 danjiri and mikoshi offered to Isono Shrine, making it the largest festival of its kind in Japan and worldwide.
At the heart of these activities are the danjiri, great wooden floats standing approximately 5m tall and weighing 700kg. These structures are shaped like house frames and carried by 15-20 revelers during a two-day parade through the city to the beat of taiko drums, bells, and festival songs. Danjiri are typically named for the neighborhood that they represent.
