説明 | The Chigo is the "Sacred Child" of the festival. Way back when, there were boys in the other major hoko as well, but now there's only the one. The others were replaced with dolls.The Chigo cuts the rope that starts the parade, and dances. This year's Chigo is ten year-old Taichiro Nishio.Naginataboko leads the parade every year, with its 20 meter tall halbard dedicated to "cutting through" bad luck and evil influences. In the past, all the hoko carried a child inside, but in modern times, only Naginataboko has an actual boy - this year it's Taishiro Nishio, whose parents are no doubt very proud. And rich. |
