Fan-shaped lanterns painted with a warrior on the front and a woman on the back - a festival that compares the painter's two sides.
About this place
The Hirosaki Neputa Festival is a neputa (nebuta) festival held in Hirosaki, Aomori Prefecture. It is counted as one of the "Four Great Festivals of Hirosaki," along with the Hirosaki Cherry Blossom Festival, the Hirosaki Castle Chrysanthemum and Autumn Leaves Festival and the Hirosaki Castle Snow Lantern Festival. Large numbers of citizens pull floats painted with warrior pictures through the city to the cry of "Yaya-do." Hirosaki neputa come in fan-shaped (ogi) and assembled (kumi, figure-shaped) types, and about 80 floats in total, the most of any neputa festival in the prefecture, take part.
