The Tsukuno Danjiri Matsuri (津久野だんじり祭), held in Tsukuno, Nishi-ku, Sakai, Osaka, is one of the Danjiri festivals in Japan. The festival is a parade involving large wooden shrine floats that are pulled at a high speed by a large team of men. The float is called 'Danjiri (だんじり)'.
Summary[edit]
The Tsukuno Danjiri Festival is held in October and is held by the Tsukuno Danjiri Association, in which 7 Danjiri owned by the neighbourhood association around Tsukuno Town participate.[1] The Tsukuno Danjiri Parades are held on the roads surrounding each neighbourhood association and around in front of JR Tsukuno Station and the Nishi-ku Danjiri Parade held around the Nishi Ward Office (held jointly by the Tsukuno Danjiri Association and the Ōtori Danjiri Association of Ōtori Danjiri Festival ).[1] About 200 lanterns are attached to the Danjiri at night. When a Danjiri makes a right-angle turn at a corner or at an intersection at high speed, it is called 'Yarimawashi (やりまわし)', and this 'Yarimawashi' is the highlight of the Danjiri Festival.[2] It's easy to say, but it's not easy to operate a danjiri that weighs over 4 tons while running. For that reason, a strong sense of solidarity among the people who participate in the festival is necessary.
Danjiris of each neighborhood association[edit]
There are 7 Danjiri in total, 4 residents' associations (Ōhigashi (大東), Miyayama（宮山）, Nishigumi (西組), Nakagumi (中組)) in Tsukuno Town and 3 residents' associations in Kōno Town (神野町), Shimoda Town (下田町), and Kamiishi-Ichino Town (神石市之町).
