I came to Yao CHO, Toyama city for the first time. Owara-style Bon is a folk song event held for three days on September 1st 〜 3rd every year, and in fact, since the date is fixed, I was lucky enough to come to see it unless I hit the weekend. No connection until now I visited the site while I came to Hokuriku this time. In the Edo period, the beautiful townscape and culture nurtured by the profits of selling medicine, selling Japanese paper, and sericulture as the base of the road were still inherited and this festival developed. ...

In the video corner on the first floor, you can see the straw-style tray. There is no intensity of the Nebuta Festival or Awa Odori, but it is rich in emotion. The movement looks slow, but I think it's probably a considerable movement. You can also see how it looks like a town sink. I wanted to come to the actual festival someday. You can also see that people gather from all over the country. There are other exhibits on the 1st and 2nd floors of the museum, but I wonder if I just need to watch this video.

You can see the straw wind tray in the picture.

Etchu Yao, famous for the straw-style tray. It seems that it will be full of tourists during the festival in September, but it is usually quiet. Here, you can see the straw-style tray in the video. At Hikiyama Exhibition Hall, there is only two live dance stages a month.
