About this event
A festival passing down sericulture traditions in the Motoojima district of Matsukawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. Held annually on January 16, it offers a chance to experience local history and culture. Matsukawa Town charms visitors with its seasonal fruit fragrances alongside traditional festivals continuing from the Sengoku and Edo periods. In spring there are lion dances and kagura sacred dance, in summer fireworks displays, and in autumn thrilling fire festivals like "Daisangoku," where columns of fire roar dramatically from bamboo cylinders. In winter, events like the Kodama Festival are held to carry on heritage.
