Tanabata Festival 2017 in Noshiro, “Yaku-Tanabata”
“Yaku-Tanabata” is a traditional Summer Tanabata event since ancient times in Noshiro.
With Taiko, Fue, and Dengaku, rectangular lanterns that the children put on their heads, they bring out the huge castle shaped lantern floats with a model of “Shachi (killer whales)” on top, which parade through the town.
There are several versions of its origins. It is widely believed to originate in the custom of “nebu-nagashi” for casting away into the Yoneshiro river drowsiness and laziness which were tremendous hindrances in farm work. There is also the legend of how Sakanoue-no-Tamuramaro (758-811), the warlord of the day came to stamp out the Ezo people of Hokkaido and the very north of Honshu, the main island, who did not obey the Imperial Court. He threatened them by using gigantic castle-shaped lantern and succeeded in destroying them.
