I would like to introduce about Nagoya festival. This festival has long history. It has been held about 50years ago. Maybe you know about this festival. Because it is famous for very gorgeous parades. this year, the festival was held in October 11 (saturday), and 12 (sunday). Nagoya festival is large scale, so every year Nagoya city regulates the traffic. The range of the regulation is also wide. From Nagoya station to Sasashima, Hirokoji street, Otsu street.
The main gorgeous and brilliant parade is procession of Nagoya's 3 great general, Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Tokugawa Ieyasu. they march in row 700 people the street.
They disguise as samurai and princess and so on. Of course, You can disguise samurai. Every year, many people apply for performing parade. Common man can perform Nobunaga or Hideyoshi. But usually women that work at department store (Mitsukoshi, Maruei, and Matsuzakaya) perform princess, for example Nene and Nou princess.
Other parades are also great. “flower car parade” is very beautiful. Beautiful floats decorated many wild flowers parade, and many dancers, brass band, baton twirlers follow folats. “dashi zoroe” is also famous. 9 valuable and traditional floats parade the street. You can see curtains embroidered luxuriously, parapets’ wonderful sculpture, great delicacy dolls. These parade is very precious opportunity to see kinetic art.
