in Hirosaki
Children are pulling the floats with ropes. The main floats are fan-shaped handpainted and
illuminated from the inside.The Parade is accompanied by flutes and drums, people are shouting like "yaaahyahdoooo" and its purpose is to "flush away" the summer tiredness.
There is more info to find on the net, my goal here is just to put up some pictures.
