A battle between sagicho floats for honor and glory!An unusual festival in which Oda Nobunaga is said to have dancedOda Nobunaga himself is said to have danced in the Omihachiman Sagicho Festival, clad in gaudy attire. Sagicho are floats that include large torches of approximately three meters in size that are woven out of straw. These torches have green bamboo standing on them and are beautifully decorated with red paper and other things. In particular, the so-called “fights” that occur when the sagicho violently ram into each other are especially spectacular. “Se nosse!” the participants shout as the sagicho crash into each other, emitting earth-shaking sounds with each collision. As the green bamboo creaks, almost as if it will break under the force of each impact, the excitement of the onlookers reaches a fever pitch.The grounds of the shrine reverberate with the sounds of taiko drums, flutes and shouts!Enjoy the traditional dances to bring rain and dance offerings, which have continued for 1300 years.A folk performing art dedicated to Hachiman Shrine, located in Asahi, Maibara.

The dancers, both adults and children, wear traditional Japanese hats, red overshirts as well as striped pleated hakama trousers, and beat drums held to their chests. They parade through the town, singing and dancing to the flutes and bells, towards Hachiman Shrine. They make a circular formation within the grounds of the shrine and give the dance as an offering.
