Top 100 Festivals of Toyamaとやまの祭り百選
About this collection
The "Top 100 Festivals of Toyama" is one of the "Top 100 Cultural Properties of Toyama" projects initiated by the Toyama Prefectural Board of Education starting in fiscal year 2004. Following the selections of "Dozo (Earthen Warehouses)" in 2004 and "Shishimai (Lion Dance)" in 2005, this project was carried out (selection) in the subsequent year. The aim of the "Top 100 Cultural Properties of Toyama" project is to create opportunities to re-recognize the value of hometown cultural properties and to promote their preservation and utilization. Particularly, the festivals of Toyama, rich in local character, are blessed with culture and tradition that can attract visitors from a wide area.
Festivals are passed down throughout Japan in various forms according to seasonal changes. The characteristics of Toyama's festivals include: 1. Many festivals are accompanied by lion dances; 2. A relatively large number of festivals feature large-scale decorative floats; 3. Many festivals involve the use of fire as a tool.
Toyama's festivals are also famous for their lavish decorations that gather the finest craftsmanship in lacquerware, carving, dyeing and weaving, and metalworking, as well as for intricate mechanical dolls on the "hikiyama" (pulled floats). The "Fushiki Shrine Spring Grand Festival" and the "Iwase Hikiyama Festival" are must-see events featuring these floats. Additionally, the Yotaka Festivals in Fukuno, Nanto City; Demachi and Shogawa, Tonami City; and Tsuzawa, Oyabe City are notable for their "kenka" (fighting) highlights.
