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.
