The Kamezaki Shiohi Matsuri is a festival at Handa, Aichi Pref. Japan, and held annually on May 3 and 4.

Based on the legend, the festival was named after that 5 parade floats (dashy) were drawn to the SHIOHI beach. Although the origin of the festival is unknown, there are some records from late 17th century to early 18 century in various documents. The tradition of the festival has been passed on over 300 years.The parade floats were reconstructed and repaired many times since the first construction. The existing floats have traditional crafts such as exquisite sculptures, splendid curtains embroidered in gold thread and 4 cloisonne pillars.In addition, elaborate puppets dance gracefully on each parade float. It can be said that the 5 parade floats in SHIOHIMATSURI were constructed bringing together consummate arts and crafts at the end of Edo (Shogun) period.
