- quote -
Kawanosu Hashira Shinji – a festival held in Kawanosu on the third Saturday of April.
Men cut down a 22-meter pine tree at dawn, dress the tree, drag the truck around town,
throw people in a river and then the ocean during the day.
Later they start hustling out the Ushi-oni (Ox Demon)!
Not to mention Kagura (a sacred Shinto entertainment dance) from 6:30 pm to past midnight
with a hair-raising, acrobatic, fiery finale.
