About this event

Held as a related event of the Kanuma Autumn Festival, 'Buttsuke (Temporary Yatai Dedication Ceremony)' highlights a musical competition of festival musicians (ohayashi) performed by carved festival floats (yatai) at intersections. The heated ohayashi competition by young people adds vibrant color to the climax of the festival. This event is an important part that conveys the tradition and style of the Kanuma Autumn Festival to the present day, held as part of the 'Yatai float events of the Kanuma Imamiya Jinja Festival,' which is inscribed as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The heroic sounds produced by the carved floats fascinate visitors and further elevate the festive excitement.
